The Art of Parsi Cooking

Originating from what was once the Persian Empire, Parsis are the followers of Prophet Zarathushtra, born in Airyana Vaeja in the foothills of what is now Central Asia.

Revealed over 3500 years ago, Zoroastrianism was one of the first monotheistic religions known to mankind. In spite of it being so old, it is a living religion for just under 200,000 Parsis (Indo-Iranian ethnicity) who have now settled and practice their faith around the world. It is unclear how many other ethnicities are practicing the faith.
