Amazing facts about Rajasthani cuisine.

The flavour of India.
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).

» Restaurant - Marwar Hall : Enjoy the sumptuous buffet laid out daily for lunch and dinner at the Marwar Hall, with a wide choice of Indian, continental and Rajasthani specialities. As an alternative, there is Risala, the a la carte restaurant.

» Trophy Bar : The lovely colonnaded verandah, The Pillars is a perfect setting for a leisurely drink and snack, to enjoy the wintery sun during the day or watch it set at dusk. As twilight falls and peacocks stalk across the back lawn it is time for a drink in the Trophy Bar.

» Theme Dinners : In winter, theme dinners are often organized in the Dal Badal, 100-year old intricately designed hunting tent, which is set up in the Palace.

Lodging

Umaid Bhawan Palace Hotel in Jodhpur offers 94 rooms and suites are available to the tourists. Other than the guest rooms are the Regal Suites - originally used by Maharaja Umaid Singh and his Maharani. The distinct feature of each room is the well-decorated furniture, originally created for the Palace. In the foyer leading to these suites is a musical fountain made purely of English Crystal. Some of the old retainers of the royal household still stay there to serve the needs of present day guests with the gracious hospitality, a unique hallmark of the Palace.
