Taste of Nowruz: Five Instagram-Certified Parsi New Year Recipes
The Parsi community is celebrating its New Year, a holiday called Nowruz.
During this festival, people enjoy special traditional foods.
Instagram is sharing five recipes to help everyone cook these dishes at home.
One dish is Berry Pulao, a tasty rice dish with sweet berries and crunchy nuts.
If you don't have berries, you can use raisins instead.
Another dish is Akuri, which is like scrambled eggs but soft and creamy, served on bread.
Salli Murgh is chicken topped with crispy fried potato slices and a special Parsi vinegar.
Patra Ni Macchi means 'fish in a leaf,' because the fish is wrapped in banana leaves with green sauce and gently steamed.
For dessert, Parsi Ravo is made with semolina and lots of dried fruits.
These recipes help families bring the flavors of Parsi New Year to their tables.
