Adding spice to the Indian palate, traditional Parsi cuisine combines the tanginess of barberry, the sweetness of jaggery, and the spiciness of saffron and cinnamon. The result is a cuisine with not just one flavour, but many—‘khaatu-meethu-teekho’, as the Parsis say of their food. The tradition of eating stew, meat, dry fruit and nuts draws its influences from their Iranian roots. Their love for the deep-fried juliennes of potato they call sali and the practice of adding vinegar to balance the sweetness of Gujarati cuisine, which was borrowed, characterises their food. The predominance of seafood in the cuisine can be traced to Parsis settling in Mumbai, while the colonial influence is evident in their love for puddings, jellies and sauces. IIC will be serving the special menu from 13th to 14th August 2021. These items shall be served in addition to the regular menu in the Dining Hall and Lounge and also can be booked on prior demand as “Take Away” items.
