What are your favorite types of foods?

When it comes to food, I get really excited because I love both cooking and eating. Though I can cook many kinds of food but my favorite among all is Rajasthani food. Rajasthani food is a unique example in itself. Rajasthani food is mainly vegetarian and it has become famous all over the world for its taste. Due to its geographical conditions, gram flour, lentils, buttermilk, curd, dry spices, dry fruits, ghee and milk are used a lot in traditional Rajasthani food. From various kinds of sweets to namkeen and dahi bhalle, pickles, papad and sweet and salty buttermilk, everything is special.

I would like to tell you one thing that the name of almost all the popular dishes in Rajasthan is associated with the name of the local district there, another name in this series is Bikaneri Bhujia. This Bhujia started being made in Bikaner district of Rajasthan and today you will find stalls of Bikaneri Bhujia not only in Rajasthan but also at many big airports abroad. Mirchi Pakodas, Dal Kachoris are not available anywhere like in Rajasthan. Mirchi Bada is a variety of snacks. People here eat it with great gusto with tea. Potatoes are stuffed inside big green chillies, and then after this they are deep fried. You can enjoy eating Mirchi Vada with tea anytime in the morning or evening. In every district of Rajasthan, you will find many such restaurants whose name will be associated with Jodhpur, which mainly sell Jodhpur’s Pyaaz Kachori. This is a type of Kachori in which onion and potato are fried in oil by giving them a different shape. It tastes different when served with red and green chutney.

You can eat it with roti or rice. Believe me, if you have eaten Rajasthan’s gram flour Gatte once, you will never forget its taste.

Apart from this, various types of green vegetables are added to it, green onion, garlic, tomato, coriander, ginger, green chilli etc.  Turmeric vegetable is mainly eaten with millet rotis and its taste increases even more with curd.
