I ate a curry made of ripe guavas at a friend's home in Kota. I was a bit unsure when I heard of this dish, but I was quite surprised when I liked it. Not 'Anthony Bourdain' league, but definitely unusual.

being a Rajasthani, I have the pleasure of having some of the best of the league stuff at home itself.

However outside my home, it was in a dharamshala near Salasar Balaji Temple, Rs.25 for unlimited food. More than the taste it was the hospitality that flattered me.

Also most of the things that I have picked on the roadside, like kachoris, Mirch vadas, Samosas etc, have been really very good.

My favourite Rajasthani food is very mundane - it's bajra roti (roti made with millet flour). It's mainly made in winter months because it's considered heatening, but I could eat it all year round.
I find the mutton (goats' meat) is too hot for my taste - so I always have to ask for less red chilli when we have that one.

That is a personal favorite of my entire 'clan' Aishah...

Its lovely with Urad Dal, Baigan Bharta, Gobhi etc etc etc..[slurrrrp]. Eagerly waiting for the winters.

There is no such definition and no one can help you with that. There are multiple cities in Rajasthan, like Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Ajmer, Mt. Abu etc.

ashwinnaagar · Aug 19th, 2008, 21:20

ok..can you tell me the best places city by city?

Aishah · Aug 19th, 2008, 23:10

Are you going to do a 'home cooking, Rajasthani food' tour, ashwinnaagar? Some restaurants do similar to home cooking style here - Chandan Shri in Hanuman Chowk, Kanishka Garden Restaurant not far from the government hospital, Maruduhar (not sure how to spell that) is a cheap restaurant near the railway station and near Gadi Sagar Pol market as well, and that is certainly Rajathani style. Near the roundabout for the Barmer Rd turnoff is a Bishnoi dhaba - bajra roti, dahl, and subzee are all very much 'home style'. I believe there are also some homestay guest houses for which the Tourist Reception keeps a list - the office is on Station Road as you come into the city to your right side. For sure, home cooking there!

I had Laal Maas (Mutton Curry) at Copper Chimney in Jaipur. It was very good.

Udaipur, not the Lake Palace, but another fancy spot. I'll ask the boss, my spouse..

Also if you like Kachoris and you happen to find yourself in Kota, park yourself at 'Jai Jinendra' for the best Kachoris ever!
