This is largely attributed to the shortage of water and unavailability of fresh vegetables all year round. The cuisine evolved using a variety of dairy products as the cooking medium and dried beans, berries as the main ingredients and vegetable substitutes made out of mostly gram flour fried, boiled or baked.<\/p>\n

Some of the dried berries and legumes that are staple in most Rajasthani kitchens are listed below.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_id=”drumstickthoran” el_class=”ingredients_sec”]<\/p>\n

Dough is combined with ghee, water and salt and roughly rolled into balls and baked in a cow dung cake over wood fire. When ready, the cow dung is broken off and baati or dough balls are served with daal and churma. Churma is the broken bits of baati made to a powder and mixed with sugar and topped with nuts.<\/p>\n
