Fooding
Amazing facts about Rajasthani Cuisine.
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.
Scarcity
of water, fresh green vegetables have had their effect on cooking. To get a
feel of rural Rajasthan, you must, absolutely must, visit Chokhi Dhani, 20
km from Jaipur. Every evening the complex comes alive with a myriad
lanterns, street acrobats, young women tirelessly pirouetting to the steps
of the 'ghoomar' dance, puppeteers pulling strings, monkeys and bears
dancing and performing acrobatics.
A meal fit for a king.
The food is served by Rajasthani men wearing their traditional dress, and a
mind boggling variety of dishes keeps appearing from the kitchen. Visitors
sit on low stools and eat a genuine Rajasthani meal out of 'pattals' (leaf
plates). The service is excellent and the hospitality traditional, as you
are persuaded to have another helping of every dish.
