MoongDalChillaVegetarianRecipe|MarwariVegetarianCookingbyMasterChefSanjeevKapoor.
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 avour 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 inuence. 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.
