Pathia is an ancient Indian Parsi form of curry predominantly available in the curry houses of the United Kingdom. ^[1] It is hot, sweet, and sour, with use of chillies and tamarind. It is based on a blend of tamarind and lime, with jaggery to help the balance and chillies for heat. Vinegar is not a traditional ingredient, nor is ginger.^{[ citation needed ]}

It developed from a dish of the same name, also called patio, from Parsi cuisine (Indian Zoroastrians), where it consists of a seafood stew that usually accompanies dhan (white rice dish) and dar (legume dish, or dal). ^[2]
