I am not very familiar to Parsi Cuisine, but I am definitely planning to explore more vegetarian dishes in Parsi Cuisine. This delicious curry is so comforting. A Parsi friend of mine told me that this curry is enjoyed by them on every Sunday. A hearty bowl of Dhansak with caramelized brown rice and dinner rolls with side of simple salad with the family, and a good old Sunday afternoon nap. Best life!!!
Tips to Make Dhansak
Prep the ingredients in advance. This will make your work so much easier. I am using Masoor Dal, Tuver Dal, Chana Dal and Moong Dal. Usually 5 types of dals are used, but I don’t use Arhar Dal as it gives a sticky texture. Use a lot of methi in this curry. Try to use fresh fenugreek leaves for the fresh herby taste, but if not then feel free to use Kasuri Methi aka dried fenugreek leaves. Make this curry in advance. If you are planning to have it for dinner, I advise you to make it by lunch time. Let it sit till the dinner time and the spices would ooze out wonderful flavors that makes this curry more delicious.
