India’s Parsi Breakfast usually consists of Sweet Ravo (Semolina) – choc-a-bloc with dry fruits) which is served with yogurt and enjoyed by young and old alike.
Desserts too are not behind in terms of variety, the most easy to make being Falooda. It is a sweet milk drink made from vermicelli and flavored with rose essence. Lagan-nu-custard is a favorite on this occasion.

Maybe our other expert members can help out with some advice – please let us know.
