Feb 28, 2024 by Sujata Muguda 0 Comments #Kurt Hunzeker, #NLL, #North America, #PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, February 28, 2024 – With its regular season bounding past the midway mark, the National Lacrosse League (NLL), North America’s largest professional lacrosse league, and its teams prepare for “The NLL March to May,” the annual push towards the eight-team NLL Playoffs under the League’s new unified, single-table format.

Every game down the stretch will have a playoff atmosphere and implications as teams vie for the NLL Championship. The unified standings now guarantees that the best eight teams at the end of the regular season have an opportunity to win the NLL Cup, regardless of geography. The playoffs begin the weekend of April 26-28.

“The NLL March to May” begins with a supersized nine-game schedule on March 1-3, with every team competing and three teams playing twice over three days of coast-to-coast action across the U.S. and Canada. TSN kicks it off with a Friday doubleheader when the Swarm visit the Thunderbirds at 7p.m. ET followed by the defending champion Bandits taking on the Warriors at 10 p.m. ET. In the U.S., ESPNU has the Rock at the Desert Dogs at 10 p.m. ET. With 12 teams currently within three games of the top spot, all eight playoff berths and first-round home dates are all in play.

The league implemented “The NLL March to May” playoff push branding in 2022-23 to wide acclaim from fans, partners, and teams.

“The success of ‘The NLL March to May’ last year was just the start as this time frame is synonymous with the run up to the NLL Playoffs,” said Kurt Hunzeker, NLL Executive Vice President, Commercial Operations. “The new unified standings and playoff formats have only enhanced how every game will have so much impact on which teams qualify and which amazing matchups we’ll see in the postseason.”

The revamped NLL playoff format will feature the regular season #1 seed vs. #8; #2 vs. #7; #3 vs. #6; and #4 vs. #5 in the quarterfinals, with a “bracket” style advance through to the NLL Finals. The quarterfinal round will be single elimination. The semi-finals and NLL Finals will continue to be best-of-three series.

Legendary Parsi Indian Culinary Entrepreneur Tanaz Godiwalla Brings “A Parsi Affair” Line of Condiments to North America

Feb 22, 2022 by Praveen 0 Comments #A Parsi Affair, #Culinary Entrepreneur, #North America, #Tanaz Godiwalla

Acclaimed Parsi culinary legend and entrepreneur, Tanaz Godiwalla, also known as the “Queen of Parsi Catering” in India, today announced the foray of her products into the North American market. Tanaz will be partnering with TGFPL USA, Inc. owned by Cashmira Sethna (Director), who will be the sole distributor of A Parsi Affair’s ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat delicacies in the United States and Canada. These coveted condiments can now be used by everyone, in their own way, to bring the delectable taste of Parsi cuisine into their kitchens.

Commenting on the launch, Tanaz Godiwalla said, “My culinary journey began more than 30 years ago, when I took over the reins of Godiwalla Catering, today a household name in the Parsi community. Soon, I realized there was a definite market for Parsi condiments that could be easily incorporated into home cooking. With that in mind, I launched ‘A Parsi Affair’ and it was an instant success in India and in the UK. I’m now delighted to be able to share the unique taste of Parsi cuisine to the sizeable Indian and Parsi community in the United States and look forward to increasing the range of our offerings soon.”

The first product that will be available is the Gajar Meva Nu Achaar, a traditional Parsi carrot sweet and sour pickle that incorporates raisins and dried dates. The second is the Gor Keri Meva Nu Achaar, the unique Parsi raw mango pickle. Vegetarian and with no added preservatives, the flavors are a game-changer in the market as they are the first to include premium dry fruits and nuts like cashews and dates. A dash of red chili pepper, ginger, and mustard powder add some spicy notes while the sambhar masala boosts the aroma. Each of these condiments uses wholesome ingredients such as ginger, garlic, chilies, jaggery, cinnamon, and turmeric — all of which possess scientifically proven health benefits as well as contribute to the distinctive flavor that makes Parsi food so famous. They are addictive with chips and stand out on charcuterie boards. Endlessly versatile, they can be paired to rev-up rice, roti flatbreads, naans, parathas, sourdough, crackers, garlic bread, and everything from theplas (flatbreads that are made with spices) to khakras (thin crackers).

Both condiments will be on retail shelves at select Patel Brothers retail locations in February, 2022. Patel Brothers are the largest Indian American supermarket chain in the United States with 57 locations in 19 states, primarily in New York and New Jersey. The condiments are expected to become available on Amazon in July 2022. They will be priced accessibly for all that are looking for a simple yet sumptuous way to add true Parsi zest to their meals.
