Dal Baati Churma📖

Rajasthani food is born of the desert — clever, rich and full of spice, designed to last in a land with little water. Here is what to eat on your trip, and what it tastes like.

Dal Baati Churma

The signature Rajasthani meal — hard-baked wheat baatis dunked in ghee, served with dal and sweet churma. Try it at any traditional thali restaurant.

Laal Maas

A fiery mutton curry coloured deep red by Mathania chillies. Not for the faint-hearted — best in Jodhpur and Udaipur.

Gatte ki Sabzi

Gram-flour dumplings in a tangy yoghurt gravy — a vegetarian staple of every Marwari kitchen.

Ker Sangri

Dried desert beans and berries cooked with spices — a true taste of the Thar that travels well as a souvenir.

Pyaaz Kachori & Mirchi Bada

Jodhpur's legendary street snacks — flaky, spicy and utterly addictive with morning chai.

Ghevar & Mawa Kachori

Rajasthan's festive sweets — honeycomb ghevar in the monsoon and rich mawa kachori year-round.
