Amazing facts about Rajasthani cuisine.
The Marwari magic.
The original cuisine of western India is principally vegetarian. This is
largely due to the enterprising, but strictly vegetarian, Marwari community
from Rajasthan, who have now spread all over the country.
The
Marwari cuisine is a good example of how the best was made of locally
available stuff. It is spicy and extremely rich with almost everything being
doused in ounces of ghee (clarified butter) and is famous for its
mouth-watering aroma. Essentially, the cuisine is simple with dishes like
alloo bhajis (spicy potatos), karhi (chickpea dumplings in yoghurt sauce),
dal batti (lentil dumplings oozing with ghee dunked in dal) which are
polished off with rice and pooris (puffed whole wheat fried breads).
