We Parsis have a deep love for our eedu (egg), and we have even managed to create a Pak (spreadable halva) of the same. What was once upon a time a regular feature, prepared as a family event and part of the winter seasonal menus, is now rarely ever spoken of or heard of. My great-great-grandmother’s recipe was one that my family looked forward to each year with much gusto.

I recall eating Eeda Pak as a child and even helping to prepare it from time to time. Nex
