It was during the Mega Marathon that I made a week of Indian Thalis which featured spreads with a Protein punch . Not all recipes had protein but the meal definitely was Protein Rich . The spreads were elaborate and I did not want my fellow bloggers to get extra burden of commenting during Mega Marathon so I posted only one recipe . I shall be sharing all recipes over a period of time . For today I have a Parsi Ravo , from Parsi Cuisne.
Parsi Ravo is a special dessert cooked on weddings , birthday , anniversarys and festivals in Parsi homes. This dessert has many versions , where vermicelli too has been used in some , though I adapted the recipe from here . The Ravo is just like our Sooji ka Halwa .
I am posting the Ravo for Day 1 under Special Theme .
