For those not lucky enough to have their own Parsi friends (or even just that lucky one!) and hence no homemade feasts to attend this evening, we bring to you a delectable list of authentic Parsi eateries around the city, definitely worth the drive and the time. Navroz Mubarak!

7 of the largest spiders in the world
Most spiders are tiny and go unnoticed, but a few species grow large enough to catch your attention. They live in rainforests, caves, and dry areas, and have adapted to survive in their surroundings– some hunt quickly, others ambush prey from burrows, and some blend into tree bark. Although their size can be intimidating, they play an important role in nature by controlling insect populations and showing the health of their environment. Goliath Birdeater The Goliath birdeater, native to the rainforests of South America, is the heaviest spider known, with a leg span reaching around 30 cm. Despite its dramatic name, it rarely hunts birds, feeding mostly on insects, frogs, and small mammals. As a defense, it can release tiny irritating hairs and produce a rasping sound by rubbing its legs together. Giant Huntsman First recorded in Laos, the giant huntsman boasts the longest leg span of any spider, also reaching up to 30 cm. It is an active hunter that chases prey rather than using webs. Although its size is striking, it avoids confrontation with humans. Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater With soft salmon-pink hairs covering its body, this Brazilian tarantula is among the most visually striking of the large species. It grows to about 25 cm across and is generally calm, with venom that is mild for humans. Hercules Baboon Spider Native to parts of Africa, the Hercules baboon spider can grow to around 20 cm in leg span. It is rarely seen in the wild, and much of its behaviour remains poorly documented, making it one of the least understood of the large spiders. Colombian Giant Redleg Found in Colombia, this tarantula is recognized for its velvety black body and reddish hairs. Growing up to 20 cm across, it prefers to live in burrows and generally poses little threat to humans. Poecilotheria rajaei Found in Sri Lanka, this spider is known for its detailed patterns and tree-dwelling habits. Its legs can stretch up to about 20 cm, and it has strong venom, though it usually avoids humans. Despite its size, it mostly hunts insects and helps keep the local ecosystem balanced. Observing it from a distance can be fascinating, as it moves gracefully among the branches. Brazilian Giant Tawny Red Tarantula Native to Brazil, this spider has a reddish-brown body and legs that can reach up to 18 cm. It mostly stays in burrows, coming out mainly to hunt. Even though it's large, it is usually calm and not aggressive. It plays an important role in controlling insects around its habitat and is rarely a threat to humans.

A taste of Navroz: An insider's look at a chef's table on Parsi New Year
Coinciding with India's Independence Day today, the Zoroastrian community in the country celebrates their new year, aka Navroz or Nowruz. In India, they follow the Shahenshahi calendar, which does not account for leap years, so their New Year usually falls in August, unlike in Iran, where it's in March during the spring equinox. Starting their day with a visit to the Fire Temple or Agiary (or Atash Behram) for worship and to give thanks, Parsis spend the day surrounded by family, friends and food. On Navroz, the Parsis believe in incorporating different food items in their meals to signify prosperity and good luck(instagram/gallopsmumbai ) Food plays a major role in the festivities as it is a thread that connects them to their ancestors. Similar to the Chinese, the Parsis also believe in incorporating different items in their meals to signify prosperity and good luck. Fish is one such item, explains Chef Kaizad Patel, the proprietor of Mumbai-based Kaizad Patel Caterers. 'Many people will eat Mawa Ni Boi, which is a sweet made of mawa and shaped like a fish, which signifies abundance and good fortune.' Saas Ni Macchi is another fish preparation that is relished on this day. 'The Parsi food in India is very different from that eaten in Persia. Our food is similar to Gujarati cuisine with a little bit of British influence, as you can see with the Saas Ni Macchi," explains Chef Kaizad, adding, "It is basically fish simmered in a sauce made from rice flour, eggs, and stock, like a velouté (a white sauce made from a roux of butter and flour with chicken, veal, or pork stock).' The Patra ni macchi is also a popular item eaten on Navroz and other special occasions. The fish (or paneer for the vegetarians) is smeared in a green chutney made with coriander and mint, along with freshly grated coconut, turmeric powder, jeera, garlic, sugar and green chilli. A key component in this chutney is the sugar cane vinegar, or Kolah's vinegar, which is often used in Parsi cuisine to achieve the perfect balance of "Tikhu-Khatu-Mithu" (spicy, sour, and sweet) flavours. The fish is then wrapped in tender banana leaves and steamed to perfection. For Chef Yajush Malik, who runs Gallops Restaurant in Mumbai, kicks off his day on a sweet note with a 'breakfast of sev and sweet curd' that signifies wealth and joy. 'The sev is a very traditional one with it being browned vermicelli that is cooked with sugar and topped with ghee and fried dry fruits,' he says. Ravo is another classic dessert enjoyed on this day. Similar to kheer, ravo is made by cooking semolina in milk and adding a lot of dry fruits, like almonds, pistachios, and raisins, which stand for richness, longevity, and prosperity. Ravo is a semolina pudding that is similar to kheer (instagram) Other desserts eaten on this day include Suterfeni, Malai and Mawa Khaja, gigantic jalebis, Lagan nu Custard, Nankhatai and Batasa biscuits. A proud Parsi based in Delhi, Chef Anahita Dhondy has been showcasing her heritage on social media. Rice finds a proud place on the table, and Chef Anahita loves the Shehenshahi Pulao, which 'is very traditional and has its roots in Persia with our familiar Indian flavours as well. We always have some kind of rice, meat and dry fruit dish to celebrate Navroz, and this is one example.' While mutton and eeda (egg) dishes are a well-known part of the traditional Parsi Bhonu, she likes to spotlight dishes that aren't as well-known. 'For Navroz, there isn't a set menu for the day, and families make food based on their personal choice. But another, not-so-popular dish made on this day is Kid Ghosht. It can be made with mutton or chicken, and is cooked in a beautiful white creamy gravy that has a base of cashew nuts.' A popular food eaten on Navroz is Sali Boti (Instagram/gallopsmumbai) Many of the dishes at the bhonu is centred on the meat and the Sali Boti is one of the showstoppers.'On New Year's Day, we take our time with lunch, which is a family affair, full for laughter and food, with someone always urging you to 'eat more',' shares Chef Viraf Patel, who is at the helm of Across. 'Sali are the crispy potato matchsticks sprinkled over the rich, slow-cooked, tangy mutton gravy that's served with a pot of fragrant pulao that's topped with fried onions.' Chicken Farcha makes for a tasty nibble on Navroz(instagram/gallopsmumbai) One of the most popular dishes, chicken farcha, is a must on this day, and Chef Kaizad says, 'Chicken Farcha is nothing but fried chicken, and we have taken some inspiration from how the Muslim community fries the meat. The chicken pieces are double-fried with a coating of egg. It is enjoyed at almost all Parsi celebrations, big or small.' Last but not the least, the Bhonu will always include the classic dhan (rice) Mori dal (a very simple yellow dal with a garlic and ghee tempering) and patio (prawns or fish, cooked with eggplant onion and tomato which is sweet spicy and sour, sort of like a masala/pickle to go with the dal rice). It embodies the hallmarks of Parsi cuisine, which are Tikhu-Khatu-Mithu. Dhan dal patio is always eaten on good/celebratory occasions,' explains Chef Yajush.
