It’s not a sweet puff pie and nor is it a puranpoli. The dar ni pori is somewhere in between. Made with delicate layers of pastry, the dar ni pori encases a sweetened mix of lentils and dry fruits, and is commonly had for breakfast or afternoon tea. There used to be a time when mothers made dar ni poris regularly at home but now you’d have to scour the city to find an aunty who will make them for you, especially in Mumbai’s suburbs, which have a serious dearth of Parsi outlets. And that’s where home chef Gulrukh Irani comes to the rescue. Based in Goregaon, Irani makes dar ni poris as well as other Parsi tea time treats like the Bhakras on pre-orders.
Call Gulrukh Irani on 8424008336 to get these tea-time snacks. A piece of Dar ni pori comes for INR 200 and if you're getting one, make sure you do an advance booking of it.
