The Rajasthani cuisine is particularly colorful with the use of spices like yellow turmeric and red chilli making up for the drab monochromatic landscape of the desert. The bati was a popular dish used by the Rajputs during battles where the part cooked batis were buried in spots of the desert to be retrieved in times of long marches. The hot sand would act like an oven and bake these. They were broken and eaten with pouring ghee over them. The popular dals in the region are ahar (tur) dal, moong dal and panchmel (combinations of 5 dals). It is said the food culture of a region leaves everlasting impressions, good or bad, on tourists visiting a particular place. The cuisine of Rajasthan almost always manages to entice tourists into splurging into yet another platter. The dining experience in Rajasthan is special in every way. Being a princely state, the cuisines of Rajasthan are more or less imperial. Royal dishes are still cooked here. Being a desert state, Rajasthan's food culture has been strongly influenced by the availability of ingredients in such places, and the inadequacy of water. The erstwhile rulers of Rajasthan were high on hunting. Hence, they had to imbibe the art of game cooking. Therefore, even today, you will see different barbequed food items as part of Rajasthani cuisine. On the other hand, the Marwaris, the staunch vegetarians of Rajasthan, also prepare equally lip-smacking fare, without using garlic and onions. In short, there's something special awaiting every guest of Rajasthan. Dal, bati and churma is the most widely recognized dish of Rajasthan. Non-vegetarians can feast on red meat and white meat specialties of Rajasthani cuisine. Cooked with dry fruits, these non-veg dishes are simply irresistible. A dining treat in Rajasthan will be incomplete without the famous delicacies made here. Try out laddoos (Jaisalmer), Mawa Kachori (Jodhpur), Dil Jani (Udaipur), Ghevar (Jaipur), Son Halwa (Ajmer), etc - the food culture of Rajasthan takes a new form with every passing kilometer. As part of your Rajputana Splendour tour, you can also learn to prepare the cuisines of Rajasthan. It'll be quite interesting to try them out back home. The taste of the food of Rajasthan is to be savored for life. You will feel more than happy when you get to cook it on your own.
