Though I am not very familiar with the Parsi cuisine, the Lamb Dhansak Recipe – Mutton Dhansak recipe has to be one which even a non-Parsi knows pretty well. It is the most famous Parsi recipe to me.

Made with spices, veggies and dal, this Lamb Dhansak Recipe – Mutton Dhansak recipe is simply something which is unlike any other mutton curry, you should certainly try this out some day. You can serve it with plain rice or with roti. Although it is traditionally served along with brown rice, I love the chapati / roti combo with this dish.

This version is just my understanding of what was told hurriedly over the phone by a friend. Please feel free to comment what is your version of it. The original Lamb Dhansak Recipe – Mutton dhansak recipe calls for pumpkin too, but as I didn’t have it with me, I have omitted it and made without it.

Although the list looks long, it is pretty easy to gather together with the spices right in your kitchen. You can even try making the veg version of it with the same method or subsitute chicken or paneer instead of lamb meat. The flavors are little spicy but you can adjust it by adding or reducing the amount of chili in it.
