Cuisines of Rajasthan- Royal pamper to my taste buds.


The Rajasthani food boasts of a tempting variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. In Rajasthan, the food is predominantly cooked in pure ghee. Its aroma and taste will linger in your mouth long after you left the dining area.

The ancient princely state of Rajasthan gave rise to a royal cuisine. The Rajas who went on hunting expeditions ate the meat or the fowl that they brought back. Even today, Rajasthani princely feasts flaunt meat cuisines that are incomparable. In contrast are the vegetarian Rajasthanis. Their food cooked in pure ghee is famous for its mouth- watering aroma. Some of the widely renowned Rajasthani Cuisines are dal-bati, besan-chakki, churma, jhajariya, gevar, balusahi, tarfini, raabdi, bail-gatte, panchkoota, chaavadi, laapasi, nukhti, googri and dhungari hui chaach. The most interesting fact of Rajasthani food is that some recipes are passed on by generations to generations.

Rajasthan's tastiest curries are based on the use of pulses or gram flour. Dry fruits, spices and yogurt are used in many delicacies. Rajasthan can also boast of a vast array of savories and sun-dried snacks. Be it dal baati and churma or missi roti , one always ends up licking his fingers.

Your tummy will scream "No more!" But you won't stop!!!
