Experience the royalty of Rajasthan with the authentic taste of Mewar cuisine against the beautiful backdrop of scenic destinations in India, with the luxury train Maharajas’ Express.
Mewari cuisine can be characterized as being rustic, simple and highly flavorsome. The cuisine mainly depends upon fresh fruits, vegetables and meats of the season. Getting the right flavors in this cuisine depends hugely on the cooking technique and freshness of the ingredients.
As Mewar is primarily a lake region, the diet includes corn (makkai) and fresh water fish, as opposed to millet (bajra). Some famous dishes of this imperial cuisine include Steamed Stuffed Bhindi, Steamed Keema, Chicken Biryani, Mewari Lauki (bottle gourd) and Phirni. Milk and dry fruits dominate the desserts in Mewari cuisine. Pistachio, Khoya, saffron-cardamom, almond and honey are filled in a pastry of wheat flour, to make the delightful Mawakachori. The legendary Paniyachurio, made from crushed maize bread, hot clarified butter and jaggery, is believed to be a great digestive. Ghee and dry fruits are generously added to the desserts to give them a royal touch.
The traditional technique of making ‘Rotis’ is billowing them on upturned clay pots, over blazing fire. Traditionally coal was used as the fuel for cooking as it enhanced the flavors, imparting a special taste and aroma to the food. The dishes showcase the ingenuity characteristic to this royal cuisine. To add the traditional zing to the dishes, they are served in clay pots, as was traditionally done to enhance the flavors. Not only is this cuisine considered immensely delicious, but the dishes are oil and fat-free as well.The delightful aromas of Mewari dishes bear with them the gossamer heritage of warrior traditions, ceremonial pasts, and hunting expeditions.
