Dhansak is a much-loved Parsi dish. The Parsi people came to India from Persia and brought with them their own food and culture. Over the years their food was influenced by Indian ingredients and spices, mostly from Gujarat.

A proper dhansak is a complex balance of flavours of the more typical curry ingredients - onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic. Where it goes off on a Parsi tangent is the addition of lentils and vegetables, which are cooked down into the sauce to create a fabulous and different curry experience. It is a unique and distinctive curry that much of India soon came to love. Most Parsis would add red meat into the curry, but many others add a mix of vegetables, chicken, paneer and even prawns into it. It is delicious in all its guises.

Cooking Instructions

3 Simple Steps | Ready in 10 mins


Cut the meat, paneer and/or vegetables into generous pieces.

If you don’t like whole spices, powder these in a pestle and mortar and add them in at the end, or remove them with a spoon before serving.

Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan, add the spices and follow 10 seconds later with the meat, paneer and/or vegetables. Brown lightly for 2-3 minutes.

Add the contents of the base sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.

Stir in the main sauce and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
