Dhansak is a delicious and popular Parsi dish that can be made with chicken or lamb.  You can even omit the meat altogether and go vegetarian. Dhansak is traditionally served with Brown Rice. The recipe includes a lot of ingredients, most of which are for the Dhansak masala powder.


Naan
is a round flatbread made of white flour. It is a staple accompaniment to hot meals in Central and South Asia.  The first recorded history of naan can be found in the notes of Amir Khusrau (AD 1300) as naan-e-tunuk (light bread) and naan-e-tanuri, cooked in a tandoor oven at the imperial court in Delhi. In Mughal times, Naan, accompanied by qeema or kabab, was a popular breakfast food of the royals.  Naan resembles pita bread and, like pita bread, is usually leavened with yeast; unleavened dough (similar to that used for  a roti) is also used. Naan is cooked in a tandoor, or clay oven, from which tandoori cooking takes its name. This distinguishes it from roti which is usually cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle. Milk or yoghurt may also be used to give greater volume and thickness to the naan. Typically, the naan will be served hot and brushed with ghee or butter. It can be used to scoop other foods, or served stuffed with a filling.
