Rajasthani cuisine

Rajasthani cuisine
Rajasthani cuisine was influenced by both the
war-like lifestyles of its inhabitants and the
availability of ingredients in this arid region.
Food that could last for several days and could
be eaten without heating was preferred. Scarcity
of water and fresh green vegetables have all had
their effect on the cooking. It is also known for
its snacks like Bikaneri Bhujia, Mirchi Bada and
Pyaaj Kachori. Other famous dishes include Bajre
ki roti (millet bread) and Lashun ki chutney
(hot garlic paste), Mawa Kachori from jodhpur,
Alwar ka mawa, Malpauas from pushkar and
Rassgollas from Bikaner, "paniya"and "gheriya"
from Mewar. Originating for the Marwar region of
the state is the concept Marwari Bhojnalaya, or
vegetarian restaurants, today found in many part
of India, which offer vegetarian food of the
Marwari people.To decrease the use of water in
this desert state they use a lot of milk and milk
products to cook.
Sweet dishes Sweet dishes are never referred to
as 'dessert' in Rajasthan, because unlike
desserts which are served after the meal,
Rajasthani sweets are served before, during and
after the meal. Balushahi Besan Chakki Churma
