Traditional Rajasthani Cooking Experience

  • Your culinary experience begins with a welcome drink of fresh homemade lime juice or local masala chai before you head to the kitchen to learn how to prepare a traditional Rajasthani meal. Rajasthani food has distinctive textures and uses grains that may astonish you.

  • You may enjoy soolas, a charcoal-grilled meal that is a battlefield speciality, ker sangri, a Rajasthani dessert of beans, and bajri roti, an unleavened bread made from millet and served with homemade butter. Enjoy a delicious meal while learning about the culinary and cultural heritage of Jaisalmer.

  • Hear about the tour guide's experience growing up on a farm outside Jaisalmer in a Brahmin family and worshipping in the temples. He learned to cook from his mother and loves to share traditional Rajasthani cuisine with his wife. They cook food in a typical Brahmin style and do not use onion or garlic.

  • In typical Rajasthani cooking, green vegetables are rare, as they were difficult to find in earlier times and are still uncommon in some places. The menu will be vegetarian.

  • Leave with new recipes, a new friend, and an unforgettable memory in Jaisalmer.
