Full of flavour, our Dansak pairs a thick lentil sauce with a blend of special spices, slow-simmered to develop a rich, enveloping sweet-sour flavour. Inherited from Parsi cuisine, this unique curry surprises with its balance between the comfort of dal and the spiced character of a traditional curry.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

A dish with a story<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Origins<\/div>\n

Dansak was born within the Parsi community of western India, heirs to Zoroastrian traditions brought from Persia.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Regional tradition<\/div>\n

It combines the Persian tradition of meat curry with Indian lentil dal, a perfect example of culinary fusion between two cultures.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Modern dish<\/div>\n

Today a well-loved classic for its originality, sitting somewhere between a meat curry and a comforting lentil dish.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\u26a0\ufe0f A little amateur historian’s disclaimer<\/div>\n

Traditional Parsi Dansak generally doesn’t use added sugar, unlike some sweeter Westernised versions: our version stays true to a measured sweet-sour balance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
