Peri’s Spice Ladle is a blog, started in 2012, with the simple idea of bringing Indian and Parsi flavors to your table. As showcased for over a decade, “It’s easy to spice up just about any meal with a few Indian touches”.
What Makes Parsi Food Truly Unique?
We (by which I mean my ancestors) came to India from Persia around the 8th Century CE. Parsi Zoroastrians follow the teachings of Prophet Zarathustra/Zoroaster and his ancient religion of Zoroastrianism. (Wikipedia offers detailed information on Parsis in India.) Most settled on the west coast of India and adopted Indian food habits and culture. Over the past 1300 years thanks to our love for food, Parsi cuisine has grown into a unique west coast Indian cuisine which still retains some food flavors and techniques from ancient Persia.
It’s like a slice of history on your plate…and here’s why:
