Taste of Rajasthan

Taste of Rajasthan

The narrow lanes within the walled city throw up a plethora of visual treats and, if you are game, of delectable food options, too. Spicy dal kachodis, lentil-based puff pastries, should be picked up from opposite Surana Jewellers in the neighborhood of Haldiyon ka Rasta. A few yards away, in the same lane, is Sambhar Pheni Wala, where you can find melt-in-your-mouth sugary phenis and ghewar, a sweet Rajasthani delicacy typically served in the winter.

Aloo tikki, a variety of potato cutlets, are best eaten from Gopal ji ka Rasta, in Johri Bazaar. What should not be missed is the aloo pyaz ki sabzi, a potato-based dish, and bejad roti, a type of flat bread from Mahaveer Rabri Bhandar at the bazaar of Chandpole.

Rawat Misthan Bhandar, dishes out pyaz kachoris, and mawa kachoris, puff pastries typical of Rajasthan that come in sweet and savory varieties. Should you wish to try a traditional meal, here they also serve dal, baati, a type of unleavened bread, and choorma, a sweet dish made of ground wheat. Samrat, a small food stall in Chaura Rasta, serves the best samosas – they typically sell out within half an hour of being made! I recommend heading there in the early morning or early evenings.

For the best laal maas in town, a lamb-based curry, the Chandravanshi Pavallion at Rajputana Sheraton is the most conveniently located. However, if you give them a six hours notice, it’s best to go to Surya Villa in Peelwa Garden on Moti Doongri Road for a smoked version of the same dish – an unbeatable experience.

A creamy pepper chicken is served at Moti Mahal Dhabha on M.I. Road just before you enter Chameli Bazaar to shop for silver trinkets. For a truly regal experience, you shouldn’t miss a meal at Cinnamon at the Jai Mahal Palace Hotel or at the Rambagh Palace hotel’s Suvarna Mahal or Rajput Room restaurants.

Man Singh ji of Castle Kanota cooks up lavish palace cuisine with the choicest of delicacies that recall the royal past of the Rajput State.

Anokhi Café, located in the textile museum, is the place to go for healthy organic salads, sandwiches and the best cheesecake in town.
