Parsi cuisine focuses on slow cooking, gentle spices, and layered flavors. A real Parsi curry depends on a well-balanced masala instead of too much heat, whether it’s made with vegetables or meat. With Bharat Parsi Curry Masala, you can recreate this authentic flavor at home, in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
Vegetarian Parsi Curry Recipe
This vegetable-based Parsi curry is light, aromatic, and comforting, making it perfect for everyday meals.
Ingredients (Serves 3-4)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 1½ tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons Bharat Parsi Curry Masala
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (potato, carrot, beans, cauliflower)
- 1½ cups water
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Method
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the sliced onions. Sauté on medium heat until soft and lightly golden. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell goes away.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and blend well with the onions. Lower the heat and add Bharat Parsi Curry Masala, turmeric, salt, and sugar. Mix well and roast gently for a minute.
- Add the mixed vegetables and stir to coat them evenly with the masala. Pour in the water, cover, and cook on low heat until the vegetables are tender and the gravy thickens naturally.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this curry with steamed rice, jeera rice, or soft roti for a complete Parsi-style meal.
