More often than not, a region's geographical and climatic conditions dictate the eating habits of its people. And it is as true for Rajasthan as for any other region. The desert land of Rajasthan gives ample reflection of this in its cuisine. Rajasthani cuisine is influenced by the war-like lifestyles of its people. As almost half of Rajasthan is desert, scarcity of water and lack of green vegetables in its cuisine is easily understandable.
Overcoming all these limitations, the Rajasthan cuisine boasts of some tongue tickling dishes. On your tour of Rajasthan don't miss the opportunity to tickle your taste buds with delectable Rajasthani cuisine. Rajasthan has a rich and elaborate culinary tradition. Known as the lands of the kings, preparation of food was a serious business in the royal kitchens, where recipes were used to be a guarded secret. But with the changing times, many royal dishes find their way into the kitchen of the common man.
The most common dish in Rajasthani cuisine is the combination of dal, bati and churma. The regions, where there is scarcity of water and green vegetables, make use of milk, butter, buttermilk, dried items like dals and dried beans. The most common delicacy is perhaps the result of this fact. The passion for hunting brought the non-vegetarian fare in the Rajasthani cuisine. So Rajasthan provides some fine delicacies both for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
If you wish to treat your sweet tooth, there are various sweetmeats to choose from. Some of the sweet dishes you can try include Sohan halwa from Ajmer, Rasgulla from Bikaner and malpuas from Pushkar. When in Jaipur, the Pink City, try Mishri Mawa and Ghevar.
