Born and brought up in a Parsi catering family in Grant Road, Parsi New Year has always been chaotic for Dilshad Karande with preparations of Parsi delicacies. She explains, “It's followed by a peaceful visit to the fire temple and an evening surrounded by family and the Parsi community watching a Parsi play (natak).” This Navroz, as the festival is called was no different, but for the Mumbaikar, the celebration continues throughout the year, as she opened Parsilicious, a Parsi kitchen in 2019 and even made a Parsi Bhonu meal and with that intends to pass on the same tradition to her 12-year-old daughter and 2-year-old boy.
