Parsi New Year or Navroz isn’t just a date on the calendar; it’s a delicious excuse to indulge in the warm and nostalgic flavours of Parsi cuisine. Falling this year on August 15, the festival is all about community, culture, and of course, food that tells a story with every bite. And in Mumbai, a city that has been home to Parsis for generations, you’re never too far from a plate of Patra ni Macchi, a spoonful of creamy Lagan nu Custard, or the comforting aroma of Dhansak.
