APRIL: Friday Night Curry Discoverer - Parsi Sali Keema with Fenugreek Rotis & Tomato Chutney
Fulfilment Date:

The rich and complex flavours of Parsi cooking...

More info

The Parsis (a community of people following the Zoroastrian religion) migrated from Iran to Gujarat in India between the 8th and 10th centuries. The skill and complexity of their cooking is renowned throughout India, with influence from their Persian heritage, the cuisine of Gujarat and Maharashtra where they settled, and even from the British with whom they traded. The Parsis are regular meat-eaters, and this dish of spicy mince (keema) topped with fried potatoes (sali) is one of their most famous dishes. It’s served here with a simple squash curry, homemade fenugreek rotis, cabbage salad and a spicy tomato chutney.
