Regional Cuisine of India - RCI - is the brainchild of Lakshmi of Veggie Cuisine. In the month of October, I am hosting my very first blog event - RCI -Parsi Cuisine.
Parsis arrived at Sanjan, Gujarat from Persia, in the 8th century. The legend has it that they approached the local king and assured him that they will be one of the locals , just like sugar gets dissolved in the milk making milk sweeter.
So come on everyone! Bring your dhansaak, paatiyo, patra ni machchi, tittori, sali murgi, aakuri, ravo and lagan nu custard! Jamva chaalo ji...

I have only made one parsi dish and i have blogged it , i sure will try to send something as it is indeed a big challenge to cook something i am not used to.
Meera, Parsi cuisine is totally new to me. I don't recollect tasting their food too, leave alone making it. I'm already eagerly waiting for the round up.
I always wondered how come you haven't hosted any event ! yay you are hosting one now, will surely participate :)
Will try to send something for your first event Meera! Best wishes and happy hosting :)
Wishing you great success in hosting your first event Meera! I will look at those links now and cook something :)!
Parsi cuisine is such a nice theme Meera. Happy hosting and I added your event to my events list. will try to make something for you. :)
Best,
Siri
Malar:
I have visited your blog and left my comment. All's well that ends well. Cheer up & take care!
HC:
Looking forward to your lovely dish. You can also send it from your archive if you like.
Madhuram:
Do visit some of the links I have provided or even the "Parsi" section on my blog. It's a misunderstanding that Parsi cooking is only about nonveg. They do have some wonderful veggie creations.
Kanchan:
Honestly, I was intimidated by this hosting business and always wondered how all the wonderful bloggers do it so effortlessly. Now, I thought the time has come to step out of my comfort zone and explore some more about hosting! Thanks for being encouraging.
Uma:
Thanks so much! Yes. I need those wishes!!:-D
Maya:
Thanks. Looking forward eagerly to your delicious creation.
Siri:
Thanks so much for adding my event on your list. It will surely help to spread the word.
Interesting theme. Will try and send some recipes.
Hi Meera, I've been busy and a bit out of the loop but I do hope to make it to your Oct. 31 deadline. If I absolutely can't, I'll repost my Tofu Patia recipe. I do love Parsi food. What a great event!
