Parsi mutton curry topped with crispy fried potato straws called sali. The wedding-dinner staple of Mumbai's Parsi community; sweet and tangy with apricot, jaggery and vinegar balancing the meat.
Sali boti is a Parsi-Persian dish with apricots, vinegar and jaggery providing the signature sweet-sour balance against slow-cooked mutton. The crispy potato straws (sali) on top are unique to Parsi cooking and never appear pre-fried. Britannia, Jimmy Boy and Cafe Britannia all serve daily versions, and it remains the canonical Parsi wedding-table dish across Mumbai, often paired with dhansak rice.
