Parsi recipes are
revived in
Niloufer Mavalvala’s
diaspora kitchen
Described as a passionate champion of Parsi food, particularly in North America and the UK, Niloufer Mavalvala strives to educate children of the Parsi diaspora about the rich cultural history of Parsi bhonu. She "wants to preserve traditional recipes that our grannies took pride in making,” wrote Natasha Mistry Pastakia on the We the Bawas Instagram page.
