#reststyle - This is a signature dish of the Parsi cuisine and a very popular one in any Parsi restaurants. Very spicy and tangy, no menu is complete without this delicacy where the mutton is cooked in a combination of two or more lentils and eggplants. Cubed red pumpkin, if preferred can also be added. It can be had both with Parsi biryani or flat bread.
