Salli Boti

This is a first-rate Parsi classic, the best example of which is served in the inimitable Britannia & Co. Tender chunks of lamb (goat, if you’re in Bombay) are braised in a rich and flavoursome gravy then finished with crunchy salli crisp-chips. When served with a hot, buttered chapati and a bowl of kachumber, there are fewer more satisfying lunches. Ours is served with handkerchief-thin roomali roti.
