1/7/2011 6:39 AM by Hemant Desai Definitely a great dish that I have savored since my childhood. Living in Mumbai and had having some Parsi friends helps. One comment I did like to add in regards to meaning of the word 'Dhansak'. Now I am not linguist, however if one were to correctly pronounce, it should spell 'DhaanSak'. As mentioned correctly by Anita, Dhaan = grains. Sak of course is Gujarati word for vegetables. So its grains and veggies. For had is been 'DhunSak' indeed it would have meant Wealth and Veggies :D Have fun and have some health food like Dhaansak. Enjoy good taste, good food and may Universe bless you all with Good health.

11/15/2008 10:07 AM by Anita One correction to the previous post - dhansak comes from dhan (grain) and sak (veggies). Anything else (meat or chicken) is a bonus. This is the most popular parsi dish ever, and the yummiest.
11/11/2008 10:26 PM by raika gazder I've heard dhansak came from- dhunsak, dhun - is money, prospertity, and for someone who can afford many dals and many vegies (in those days, what people ate everyday was a status symbol :) And sak is the common gujurati (shak - in hindi) term for a cooked vegetable, sak = stew. Hence dhansak would mean, stew of prosperity. hahahahaha... [In a typical parsi house it means its a sunday!]

3/27/2008 10:02 AM by Minnie Hi, thanks for the recipe. It is one of my favourite ones. There is a slight correction. In the list of ingredients is mentioned, 1/2 bunch red chillie powder. Could you please write the correct amount of chilli powder.
