Dhansak is a much-loved Parsi dish. The Parsi people came to India from Persia and brought with them their own food and culture. Over the years their food was influenced by Indian ingredients and spices, mostly from Gujarat. A proper dhansak is a complex balance of flavours of the more typical curry ingredients - onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic. Where it goes off on a Parsi tangent is the addition of lentils and vegetables, which are cooked down into the sauce to create a fabulous and different curry experience. It is a unique and distinctive curry that much of India soon came to love.
