Amazing facts about Rajasthani cuisine.

The culinary charisma.
Rajasthani cooking was influenced by the war-like lifestyle of its inhabitants and the availability of ingredients in this region. Food that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred, more out of necessity than choice.

Bikaner, cooks use a minimum of water and prefer, instead, to use more milk, buttermilk and clarified butter. Perhaps the best known Rajasthani food is the combination of dal, bati and churma but for the adventurous traveller, willing to experiment, there is a lot of variety available.

» Fine Dining :The multi cuisine lakeside restaurant, Mirage, once called 'Ganga Bhawan' (after the ruler of Bikaner), recreates the grandeur of royal dining, set amidst high ceilings, gold framed mirrors, intricately crafted fireplaces and wood flooring. Mirage is open throughout the day and serves a la carte meals and snacks.

Imperial Sand Grouse, the restaurant at the terrace, is named after the endangered bird, and provides spectacular views of wildlife, migratory birds on the lake and the game sanctuary that stretches on beyond.

Cook for yourself...........if you wish!
If you would like to cook for yourself, there is an open area, which has been developed into a state-of-the-art kitchen that guests can use. Computer controlled storage facilities and a bakery are part of this unit.

» The Bar : The bar, Mrigtrishna, is named after the palace sanctuary. Its' magnificent chandeliers and artistically painted ceilings are reminiscent of the British Raj.
