Rajasthani cuisine is perhaps the most sensitive amongst the Indian cuisines. People here relish

non-vegetarian dishes made from chicken, lamb and shikar which includes animal and birds like

boars, venison, peacock, quail, duck, pheasant, rabbits and even camels etc. Vegetarian food comes

in two varieties i.e. the food eaten by the common man that includes use of various spices and herbs

and the food of the Marwari Jains that is prepared without using onions, garlic or for that matter

any ingredient growing under the soil except for ginger and groundnuts.

Rajasthan cooking in general has its own unique တဠavour where the simplest and the most basic of

ingredients go into the preparation of delicious dishes. The harsh climate and the non-availability

of ingredients in this region are a great inတဠuence.  Food that could last for several days and could be

eaten without heating was preferred, more out of necessity than choice. The sparse rainfall is not

conducive to growing fresh green vegetables. Due to this scarcity whatever seasonal vegetables are

grown, are sundried so that they can be used for the rest of the year.
