Rajasthani thali
Rajasthani cuisine (Hindi: राज थानी खाना)
was influenced by both the war-like
lifestyles of its inhabitants and the
availability of ingredients in this arid
region.[1] Food that could last for several
days and could be eaten without heating
was preferred. Scarcity of water and fresh
green vegetables have all had their effect
on the cooking. It is also known for its
snacks like Bikaneri Bhujia, Mirchi Bada
and Pyaaj Kachori. Other famous dishes
include Bajre ki roti (millet bread) and
Lashun ki chutney (hot garlic paste), Mawa
Kachori from jodhpur, Alwar ka mawa,
Malpauas from pushkar and Rassgollas
from Bikaner, "paniya"and "gheriya" from
Mewar.[1] Originating for the Marwar region
of the state is the concept Marwari
Bhojnalaya, or vegetarian restaurants,
today found in many part of India, which
offer vegetarian food of the Marwari
people.

According to a 2014 survey released by

the registrar general of India, Rajasthan
has 74.9% vegetarians, which makes it the
most vegetarian state in India.[2]

Rajput cuisine
Rajasthani cuisine is also influenced by the
Rajputs, who are predominantly non-
vegetarians. Their diet consisted of game
meat and dishes like laal maas, safed
maas, khad khargosh and jungli maas.[3]
The natives of the Rajputi areas have a
wide variety of chutneys made of turmeric,
garlic, mint and coriander.

Sweet dishes
Sweet dishes are never referred to as
'dessert' in Rajasthan, because unlike
desserts which are served after the meal,
Rajasthani sweets are served before,
during and after the meal.
