Mumbai Food: Here's what you can try from authentic Parsi cuisine, this Navroze

What' a festival without tasty, authentic food? As Parsis ready to celebrate Navroze this week, we tell you what to try from their plate

For jardaloo ma marghi
Bhonu is what the Parsis call a proper meal. Head to this eatery that is set to celebrate the new year with a range of traditional Parsi dishes served on a single platter — the vegetarian and the non-vegetarian bhonu. While the former includes delicacies such as saria, Russian salad, gajar mewa nu aachar, vegetable cheese pattice, patra ni paneer and masala ni dal, the latter comes with an added chicken pattice, mutton masala pulav and jardaloo ma marghi. Round up the plateful with a generous helping of falooda and malida.
