Parsi Food: Lagan nu custard
Restaurant: Jimmy Boy, near Bombay Stock Exchange, Fort
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
A slice of Lagan nu custard is almost a mandatory dessert to round off an excellent Parsi meal. The flavor of the custard far overshadows the chipped plates a classic Parsi restaurant is likely to serve you in.

Parsi Food: Mutton Berry Pulav
Restaurant: Britannia & Co., Ballard Pier, Fort
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Mutton Berry Pulav is a speciality of the popular, yet low-key and inexpensive Parsi / Irani restaurant "Brittania & Co". This colorful and mouthwatering dish consists of a rice pilaf surrounded by meat balls, tender and succulent pieces of mutton buried in the middle, and a garnishing of dried berries and nuts.
In the background is a hefty serving of "sali nu chicken" (thinly sliced fried potatoes served over chicken curry).

The statement "High Class Restaurant" in chipped paint was amusing at the outset. However, if the ambience did not live up to the statement, the food and service most certainly did. The most amazing part of the dining experience was the graciousness of the owner in insisting that he would replace the food at our table with fresh, hot food once we were done shooting - without our even requesting this! Now this is a restaurant that definitely comes highly recommended.

Presenting ‘Parsi Bhonu’ a 4 course meal which allows you to taste all the dishes that one would get at a typical parsi lagan (wedding) from Jimmy Boy (One of the finest restaurants for Parsi food in Mumbai) as 15th in the series documenting the best & the most popular 100 food of my city 'Mumbai' be it from Restaurants, Stalls or Street | Humayunn Peerzaada for Humayunn FoodOgraphy
=====================================================
"bhonu" allows you to eat on the typical banana leaves like one would get at a wedding. You could also ask for a plate if thats what you prefer. It starts with parsi styled thin rotis with the well known carrot pickle and crispy wafers called sarias.
You then get a choice for each of the 4 course meals. First is the choice of fish - either "patra ni machi" which is wrapped in a leaf with green chutney or my personal favorite "saas ni machi" which is basically fish in an excellent white sauce which I assure you, you wont get anywhere else.
The 2nd course offers you a choice of Chicken - "Chicken farchas" which is the Parsi version of the fried chicken, or "sali margi" which is a tender chicken in gravy with crispy potatoes that go brilliantly with it.
The 3rd course is the jewel of any Parsi cuisine, the dhansak daal with biryani (chicken or mutton or vegetarian) without which no true Parsi meal is complete.
Finally for dessert, you can choose between the "lagan nu custard" which is a baked custard or the ever popular kulfi ice cream.
