Dhansak, Patra Ni Machchi, Marghi Na Farcha! Tasty Parsi dishes served in restaurants in Ahmedabad.
Parsis are believed to have first landed in South Gujarat between the 8th and 10th century and since then the Parsis have always had a strong connection with Gujarat. In fact, the Parsi community’s language is a version of Gujarati language and the traditional dress of Parsi women is the sari worn in the Gujarati style.
However, Parsis have their own distinct religion, culture, tradition and cuisine. They make some really amazing non-vegetarian dishes as the Parsis are predominantly non-vegetarians. Ahmedabad, which has many more vegetarian restaurants than non-vegetarian ones has its share of restaurants offering Parsi food including one vegetarian restaurant serving a vegetarian version of the popular Dhansak which traditionally has mutton in it.
