As the city’s Parsis and Iranis celebrate Navroze, Folk, the traditional Indian regional restaurant at Kala Ghoda by chef owner Jasleen Marwah, thought it timely to create the Navroze table at her dining space. She has also gathered her chef girls’ squad to represent delicacies for Baisakhi, Pongal, Navroze, Gudi Padwa, Bihu, Vishu, Pohela (Poila) Boishakh. Marwah has roped in food and travel writer Roxanne Bamboat to set up a Haft Sin or special table at the restaurant. “The idea is to pay homage to this Parsi-Irani tradition as they celebrate Navroze today. However, the fare is from across the country — Bihari, Assamese, Punjabi, Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin (CSB; Karnataka) and Kolhapuri,” shares Marwah, who has made roundels of topli paneer and patra ni machhi from Parsi cuisine for the menu.
