Here’s what customers have to say

  • "Oh wow! The Parsi Dhansak Vaghar blend is delicious 😋 I only had green lentils…then I added some potato, spinach, carrots, & chicken. It’s yummy and it’s the perfect “heat” for us. Thanks again!!"

    ~ Jody

  • "Wanted to let you know that the Dhansak came out amazingly delicious! The spice level was just right! We ate it with a slice of whole wheat sourdough. "

    ~ Kit

  • "Oh, the Dhansak spice blend couldn’t be better. It’s delicious. I cooked the dal with sweet potato and my home grown Japanese eggplant 🍆 the small thin ones. Your vaghar blend made the whole process so easy. I don’t know how to thank you. You are onto something good. 👍 Your recipe and proportions are on the button! "

    ~ Roshni

  • "I really enjoyed these teas. As soon as you open the pouches , the aroma of the tea hits you so intensely; you can tell the blends are fresh and haven't been sitting on a shelf for years. Honestly, I thought these would be like every other chai I've tried, but the little bit of mint in the blends was so unexpected (in a good way!). I also loved the rose in the Parsi Choi; it was so well-balanced and not overpowering like rose can sometimes be. I'm really happy with these and will be back for more!"

    ~ Olivia

  • "I have enjoyed very much how you have taught us how to combine dishes with each other. That is something I did not know about before I came to your classes and that has been incredibly helpful. My husband has been very impressed by the meals I have cooked that way. For instance the black pepper chicken and yogurt rice was a revelation - the flavours so different from the tomatoey or coconutty flavours that we are more used to."

    ~ Kunderke

  • "I loved trying out this variety box! It was such a special treat to receive in the mail. I didn't know what to expect from the Parsi Choi Tea Blend, but it was so delicious. It gave me earl gray vibes! Both teas made me feel so cozy. There is definitely caffeine in these, so make sure to note that if caffeine affects you later in the day!"

    ~ Shana

  • “This was so much fun and so easy to follow along and ask questions! Our food turned out great and was a big hit with some friends that evening for dinner! We will definitely be making this again! Thanks for taking something that seems so daunting and showing us how simple and delicious it can be!”

    ~ Erin

  • “I have had a fun time learning about Parsi cooking from Peri. Even though I am familiar with Indian flavors, I knew very little about Parsi food. The ingredients used are pretty interesting. The format of the class is relaxed and having access to the video afterwards, is helpful when I make the dish at home. Glad to have found this gem!”

    ~ Mamta

  • "We made it to the Indian grocery store and I made the saas ni maachi and khichri last night! The spice level was about right for us. It was really good! A totally different flavor from other Indian food I’ve had, and the rice is surprising easy and tasty"
