From Persia, with love

Try dentist-pattisier Dr Riana Irani’s lagan nu custard cheesecake, something she came up with last year during the Parsi New Year. “It took me a few tries before I could give it the perfect airy texture of a cheesecake and also the rich intensity of the lagan nu custard. It was quite a hit last year and on public demand, it’s back on the menu this year,” says Dr Irani. Remembering her baker-horticulturist grandfather Behram, a first-generation migrant from Yazd, who made a life in erstwhile Bombay, she tossed together gems from the land of his birth to make white chocolate barks with tart zereshk or Iranian barberries, pista and rose petals. And the choco walnut fig brownies — those are heaven!
