Dhansak
Dhansak is a popular Indian dish, originating among the Parsi community. It combines elements of Persian and Gujarati cuisine. Dhansak is made by cooking mutton or goat meat with a mixture of lentils and vegetables. This is served with caramelised white rice, whole spices, and caramelized onions. The technique of extending a relatively expensive ingredient by combining it with vegetables and/or lentils in the same recipe is widely employed in Persian cooking. ("Dhan" is a Gujarati cereal dish mentioned in Kanhadade Prabandha in 1455 AD; "Sak" is derived from Gujarati "shaak" and means vegetable greens or cooked vegetables.) The Gujarati element of the recipe is the liberal use of a variety of Indian spices and condiments, in contrast to the more mellow Iranian recipes.
