Fruity chicken makhani.

I was drooling 🤤🤤whilst I was making it, man, it tasted better than I envisaged 😋😋😋

[buffetlicious]

Anyway, here were the dishes we ordered. The first to be served was the Rigatoni Alla Vodka (S$22++), penne in tomato and cream sauce with vodka added. The vodka emulsifies the sauce and enhances flavour. I got to try a piece of the pasta and alcohol was quite pronounced.

Two people ordered the Stone Age Burger (S$20++) with angus beef patty, cheese, red onion, pickles and coated straight-cut fries. Although I did not get to try the burger, I was given some fries and it was well flavoured and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.

Both my two colleagues next to me had the Stone-Cut Schnitzel (S$28++) which is deep-fried tenderized pork loin cutlet with sour potato salad, cranberry compote and lemon. They finished every bit on the plate, so must be good.

Colleague’s family had this Cave Smoked Rib (S$36++) to share. 500 grams of pork rib barbecued to perfection and glazed with BBQ sauce. Came with a side of pickled cucumbers. She told me it was very good so you will have to take her words for it. :D.

My Charcoal-Grilled Spring Chicken (S$28++) was the last to be served, but it was worth the wait. A juicy and succulent whole spring chicken grilled to a mouthwatering goodness, covered in lightly spicy peri-peri sauce. Gave the lemon a squeeze to release the juice which helps to cut down the greasiness and add acidity.

Since we still have more than a hour to waste before the bus will arrive to ferry us back, colleagues suggested we go have a drink. We had exited the park and wander around the vicinity looking for a place to hang out. One colleague said she wanted to drink Masala Tea so we went to an Indian Restaurant. Other than the two of us who ordered Masala Tea, the others did not enjoy their tea which is either too sweet or tasteless or both. No tea pictures to show but we found many Torch Ginger Flowers (Etlingera elatior) blooming along the way and Waterfall.

To summarise the visit to Rainforest Wild Asia. If you are here to see the animals, you might end up a little disappointed as there aren’t a lot to be seen. Here, the landscapes imitate the rainforest of Asia with plenty of flora and most of the animals are not used to be up close with humans, so they tend to stay away from the open area. Overheard another group of visitors’ conversation, she was lamenting to another about having only seen tortoises. :D Poor girl needs to open her eyes big big to spot the animals among the trees, shrubs and brushes. On the other hand, if you are the adventurous type, there are plenty of hands-on activities to enjoy though not all of them are free. You can also venture off the beaten path (elevated walkway) and explore the streams and undergrowth of a tropical rainforest.

ಉಡುಪಿ ಸಾಂಬಾರ್ / Udupi sambar

A sambar is a lentil-and-vegetable stew distinguished by the use of a particular spice blend (Hindi: सांबर मसाला "sāmbār masālā," "sambar spice"; Kannada: ಸಾಂಬಾರ್ ಪುಡಿ "sāmbār puḍi," "sambar powder"). Sambars are a staple of South Indian and Sri Lankan cooking, sometimes made in households for multiple meals a week. The word "sambar" can be traced back to the Sanskrit सम्भार "sambhārá," "collection of things required for a particular purpose”; “spices."

The lentil used in sambar dishes is usually tur dal (split pigeon peas), though arhar dal, tuvur dal, or even blends containing masur or mung dal may be used, depending on the cook or the region. Vegetables also vary between combinations of okra, potato, ash gourd (petha), bottle gourd (doodhi / lauki), drumstick (saijan ki phalli), beetroot, tomato, carrot, pumpkin, brinjal, and pearl onions, among others. The sambar masala fries chilis, curry leaves, dal, and various spices including cumin, coriander, and fenugreek, then grinds them into a spicy, earthy, fragrant blend.

This recipe makes a sambar in the style of ಉಡುಪಿ (Udupi) cuisine—a subdivision of the cuisine of the ತುಳುವ (Tuluva) people localised in the Udupi District of Karnataka, a southeastern coastal state of India. (Tuluva cuisine is also commonly found in Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, and Kasaragod, Kerala). In the Udupi region, sambar may be known as "ಕೊಡೆಲ್" "kodhel"; perhaps related to "ಕಡಲೆ" "kadhale" "Bengal gram"; or "ಹುಲಿ" "huḷi"; "tartness." Udupi huli has coconut oil and jaggery as its primary distinguishing features: the jaggery's deep sweetness and the earthy pungency of unrefined coconut oil combine with the spice of the chilis and the sour fruitiness of the tamarind to create a complex, flavorful, well-balanced dish.

Udupi huli may be further divided into a few major types. ಮಸಾಲೆ ಹುಳಿ ("masāla huḷi") contains shredded coconut and vegetables; ಬೋಳು ಹುಳಿ ("bolu huḷi") contains vegetables, but omits the coconut.

Hotel-style masala huli recipes typically add a lot of jaggery to produce a distinct sweetness; cut back on the amount of coconut included; and contain onion and garlic. The other main type of masala huli—“temple style”—is sattvic (from Sanskrit "सत्त्व" "sattva": "goodness," "essence," "existence"), which in this context means that onions and garlic are excluded.

A sattvic diet in Hinduism centres around the concept of maintaining sattva by eating only pure and mild (sattvic) foods, and omitting tamasic (“dark,” "inert," "destructive"; from Sanskrit तमस् "tamas") and rajasic ("exciting," "passionate," from Sanskrit रजस् "rajas") ones. The concepts of sattva, tamas, and rajas (the गुण "guṇa" system) are central to the construction of caste: the degree to which each person innately inherits each quality supposedly determines their possession of characteristics including honesty, intelligence, and goodness (sattva), stupidity and lack of creativity (tamas), and passion and pridefulness (rajas); the possession of these characteristics in turn determines their rightful place in a professional and social hierarchy. The association of certain foods with certain qualities thus links diet to caste: a distinction in diet is one of the methods by which those belonging to upper castes maintain and police caste boundaries.

This recipe makes enough pudi for one pot of sambar. Traditionally, sambar pudi is created fresh each time the dish is made, but many households make large batches and store them. In this case, omit the coconut; or, use dried coconut and store the masala in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

Serves 4-6.

For the sambar:

2 cups chopped vegetables

1 red onion, sliced*

1 cup (200g) yellow split pigeon peas / tur dal / ತೂರ್ ದಾಲ್ (ಹಳದಿ ಸ್ಪ್ಲಿಟ್ ಪಾರಿವಾಳದ ಬಟಾಣಿ)

4 cups (1 litre) water, or as needed

1/4 tsp ground turmeric / haldi / ಅರಿಶಿನ

2 tsp table salt

2 tsp jaggery / gur / ಬೆಲ್ಲ*

1/4 cup (60mL) tamarind pulp (from 1 Tbsp dried tamarind / imlie / ಹುಣಸೆಹಣ್ಣು)

2 tsp unrefined coconut oil / nariyal ka tel / ತೆಂಗಿನ ಎಣ್ಣೆ

Ingredient list format is English / Hindi (Latin transcription) / Kannada. The Hindi is provided for convenience while shopping.

Udupi sambar usually uses any of: gourd, brinjal (Indian eggplant), pumpkin, dumstick (saijan ki phalli), and okra. Pearl onion is not usually used in this region, but you can add whatever you want, according to taste.

*For a hotel-style sambar, include the onion; increase the jaggery to 2 Tbsp.

For the spice paste / sambar masala / ಸಾಂಬಾರ್ ಪುಡಿ ("sambar pudi"):

1/2 Tbsp split Bengal gram / chana dal / ಹಳದಿ ಸ್ಪ್ಲಿಟ್ ಗ್ರಾಂ

2 tsp split black gram / urad dal chilka / ಸ್ಪ್ಲಿಟ್ ಬ್ಲ್ಯಾಕ್ ಗ್ರಾಂ

2 tsp coriander seeds / dhaniya / ಕೊತ್ತಂಬರಿ ಬೀಜದ

1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds / methi / ಮೆಂತ್ಯ

1 tsp cumin seeds / jeera / ಜೀರಿಗೆ

1 tsp ground turmeric

5-6 curry leaves / kari pati / ಕರಿಬೇವು

3-4 Byadagi or other dried red chilis / byadagi mirch / ಬ್ಯಾಡಗಿ ಮೆಣಸಿನಕಾಯಿ

4 cloves garlic, skins on*

Large pinch asafoetida / hing / ಇಂಗು

1 cup (100g) fresh coconut (about one coconut)*

1/2 cup (120mL) water

While the ratio of ingredients in Udupi sambar pudi vary slightly, the ingredients themselves are almost always consistent.

*For a hotel-style sambar, include the garlic, and decrease the coconut in the sambar masala to 1/4 or 1/2 cup (25-50g).

The grams and pulses in this pudi have many different names. You can find them in a halal or South Asian grocery store; look on the bag for the Hindi names (since they have been transcribed into Latin, the spelling may vary from what you see here).

The urad dal you find may be husked, and thus yellow instead of black; these will work just as well.

For the tempering / tadka / ಹದಗೊಳಿಸುವ:

2 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil

2 red chilis

8 curry leaves

1 tsp brown mustard seeds / rai / ಸಾಸಿವೆ ಬೀಜಗಳು

Recipes from north Karnataka may add cumin and whole, unpeeled garlic cloves to the tempering.

Instructions:

For the sambar pudi:

1. Break open the coconut and remove and shread its flesh.

If using a whole dried coconut, break into the shell with the wrong side of a hammer and pry open. Break into a few smaller pieces and peel with a vegetable peeler until the skin is removed from the white flesh, wearing something to protect your hand. Soak in warm water for several minutes to soften, and then grate or food process.

2. Heat 2 Tbsp of coconut oil in a skillet on medium-low. Add asafoetida and fry for 30 seconds, until no longer raw-smelling. Add dal and fry, stirring often, for 30 seconds until golden brown; add coriander, mustard, fenugreek, and cumin seeds and fry until fragrant.

3. Add curry leaves and fry until wilted, then add garlic and dried chilis and fry another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant.

4. Add coconut and fry, stirring often, for another few minutes until a shade darker. Add turmeric and stir.

5. Grind all ingredients into a paste in a mortar and pestle, then mix in about 1/2 cup water to loosen (if using dried coconut, you may need more water).

Or, put all ingredients along with 1/2 cup water into a blender or food processor and process until a relatively smooth paste forms.

For the sambar:

1. Wash tur dal to remove excess starch. Simmer dal with 2 cups water, 1/4 tsp ground turmeric, and 1 tsp coconut oil for about 30 minutes until very tender. Mash until relatively smooth with a wooden spoon or bean masher, or process briefly with an immersion blender.

You may soak the dal in water after rinsing them to reduce the cooking time, but it is not necessary.

2. Meanwhile, make the tamarind paste. Soak 1 Tbsp tamarind dried pulp in 1/4 cup hot water for 20-30 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind into the water to extract the pulp. Discard the tamarind seeds and husk. Optionally, depending on your preferred texture, push the mixture through a metal sieve.

3. Prepare vegetables. Slice the onion; remove ends of okra and drumsticks and cut into 2-inch pieces; quarter tomatoes; quarter brinjal; peel pumpkin and cut into cubes; peel and cube potatoes.

4. If using onion, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to a large pot and fry until translucent.

5. In the same pot, boil vegetables in just enough water to cover, along with a pinch of salt, until they are beginning to soften.

Some recipes call for the vegetables to be boiled, and others call for them to be steamed. I prefer boiling, since it produces a nice savory broth.

6. Mix vegetables, dal, tamarind, jaggery, sambar pudi, and salt to taste and simmer 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to combine and vegetables to cook under tender. Add water as needed. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Taste and adjust salt.

The final sambar should be pourable, like a thick soup—Karnataka sambar is typically thinner in consistency than Tamil Nadu versions.

For the tadka:

1. Heat coconut oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Add tempering ingredients and fry, stirring often, until chilis and curry leaves are a couple shades darker and the mixture is fragrant.

2. Pour the oil and tempering ingredients into the sambar and stir in. If you like, retain some of the tadka as a garnish to serve.

3. Serve warm, in individual bowls, alongside long-grain white rice. To eat drumsticks, scoop the center out and eat it; the tough outer rind is left.

If you intend to save some sambar, it's a good idea to make just enough tadka for what you plan to eat that day, and then make fresh tadka to pour over the reheated leftovers.

Indian Lentil Curry with Spinach (Dal Makhani)

Ingredients:

- 1 cup black urad dal (whole black gram lentils)

- 1/4 cup rajma (kidney beans)

- 1 large onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1-inch piece ginger, grated

- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds

- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach

- 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

- Salt to taste

- Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Rinse the urad dal and rajma thoroughly. Soak them in water for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add cumin and coriander seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and sauté until softened and fragrant.

3. Stir in turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

4. Add the soaked lentils, diced tomatoes, and salt to the pot. Stir well to combine. Pour in enough water to cover the lentils by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened.

5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for a few minutes, or until the spinach wilts.

6. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan bread.

This hearty and flavorful Indian lentil curry is not only delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits. Lentils and kidney beans provide plant-based protein, while the fiber in lentils and spinach aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. Additionally, the curry is rich in vitamins such as B vitamins, iron, and potassium. The spices and vegetables in the curry also provide antioxidants that help protect cells from damage.

Is It Hard for Vegetarians to Get Enough Protein?

When we think of protein, it is easy to picture plates filled with eggs, chicken, or fish. It often raises a question: without meat or eggs, how do vegetarians meet their protein needs?

Protein plays a central role in the body. It helps build muscle, repair tissues, strengthen the immune system, and keeps us full for longer. While it may seem that vegetarians would fall short, the reality is different. Many everyday foods supply more than enough protein without requiring major changes.

How Much Protein Do We Need?

Most people need about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For someone who weighs 60 kilograms, that translates to roughly 48 grams of protein a day. It sounds like a challenge, but with the right combination of foods, it is well within reach.

Lentils and pulses are among the best protein sources for vegetarians. Everyday foods like dal, chickpeas, kidney beans, and black beans are rich in protein. A cup of cooked lentils provides about 15 to 18 grams of protein. When paired with rice or rotis, it makes for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Dairy is another important source. Paneer, curd, milk, and cheese offer high-quality protein along with calcium. One hundred grams of paneer contain about 18 grams of protein. A glass of milk or a bowl of curd adds even more, fitting easily into regular meals.

Soy-based foods like tofu, tempeh, and edamame are excellent plant-based options. Tofu is especially versatile, absorbing the flavors of curries, stir-fries, and salads while delivering a good protein boost.

Chickpeas and beans also contribute significantly. Whether it is chana masala, rajma chawal, or hummus on toast, these foods provide about 15 grams of protein per cooked cup. They are filling and rich in nutrients beyond protein.

Nuts and seeds play their part too. Almonds, peanuts, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds are small but powerful. A handful of almonds or a tablespoon of peanut butter can lift the protein content of a meal. Chia and flaxseeds can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt without much effort.

Whole grains like oats, quinoa, and brown rice add another layer of support. Quinoa is one of the few plant-based sources of complete protein, offering about 8 grams per cup. A breakfast of oats with milk and seeds can turn into a strong start to the day.

Even green vegetables contribute. While not as protein-dense, peas, broccoli, spinach, and corn add small amounts that, over time, make a difference when combined with other sources.

A Day of Eating for Protein (Vegetarian Style)

Breakfast: Oats with milk, almonds, chia seeds

Mid-morning: Handful of peanuts or roasted chana

Lunch: Dal with brown rice and curd

Evening: Tofu tikka or paneer sandwich

Dinner: Chickpea salad or rajma with roti

Optional Snack: Greek yogurt or a banana and peanut butter smoothie

Eating a vegetarian diet does not mean falling short on protein. With a mix of lentils, dairy, soy products, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and vegetables, it is possible to meet daily protein needs while also gaining the added benefits of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

The next time someone wonders how a vegetarian manages without meat, the answer is simple. Plates filled with dal, greens, nuts, and curd are doing more work than they appear. Quietly and steadily, they support the body just as well.

Ingredients:

For Kadai Masala:

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

½ teaspoon cumin seeds

2 cloves

2 green cardamoms

½ inch cinnamon

3 to 4 dry kashmiri red chilies – broken and seeds removed

1 teaspoon kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves)

8 to 9 cashews – whole and not halved

4 to 5 black peppercorns

For Vegetables:

100 grams carrots or ½ cup carrots cut in batons

100 grams potatoes or ½ cup potatoes cut in batons

⅔ cup green peas – fresh or frozen

100 grams bell pepper or 1 medium-sized or ½ cup sliced bell pepper (capsicum), any colored variety

⅓ cup sliced onions

1 tablespoon oil – for sautéing bell peppers and onions

Other Ingredients:

2 tablespoons oil

¼ cup chopped onions

1 teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste or ½ inch ginger and 3 to 4 garlic – crushed to a paste in mortar-pestle

200 grams tomatoes or 3 medium tomatoes pureed – about ⅔ cup tomato puree

¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

¼ teaspoon red chili powder or cayenne pepper

1.5 to 2 cups water or as required

salt as required

3 tablespoon light cream or cooking cream (low fat) or 1.5 tablespoons heavy or whipping cream

2 to 3 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

1 inch ginger – julienne for garnish, optional

Making Kadai Masala:

Heat a small frying pan. Keep heat to a low and add the following spices – coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, green cardamoms, cinnamon, dry kashmiri red chilies, kasuri methi, cashews and black peppercorns.

Stir often and roast on a low heat until the spices become fragrant. No need to brown the spices. Set aside.

Preparing Vegetables:

Blend tomatoes and make a smooth puree in the same mixer-grinder if its big enough or in another blender or mixer. No need to blanch tomatoes before pureeing. Set aside.

In a pan heat 1 tablespoon oil and add the sliced onions and sliced bell pepper. Use any colored bell pepper.

Stir very well and saute the onions and bell pepper on a low to medium heat.

Saute till the bell peppers are half cooked. Some crunch is desirable.

Remove the sauteed onions and bell peppers aside. Chop the potatoes and carrots in 2 inches batons and keep them aside too.

Making Veg Kadai:

In the same pan, then heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add ginger-garlic paste. Stir and sauté for some seconds on low until the raw aroma of ginger-garlic goes away.

Next add finely chopped onions.

Stir and saute the onions on medium-low to medium heat until they become light golden.

Add the prepared tomato puree. If using ready tomato puree, then add ⅔ cup tomato puree.

Add turmeric powder and red chili powder or cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

Sauté the masala stirring often on low to medium-low heat till the tomato puree cooks, the masala thickens and you see oil releasing from the sides.

Then add the potato, carrot batons together with the green peas.

Stir and saute for a minute.

Add 1.5 to 2 cups water or as needed. Season with salt according to taste. Stir well.

Cover the pan. On a medium heat simmer and cook the veggies. Check from time to time and if required, add more water.

Then add the ground kadai masala reserving 1 teaspoon of it for garnish. Stir very well.

Add the sautéed bell peppers and onions. Mix and stir again.

Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes on low to medium-low heat. If the kadai vegetable gravy looks dry, then add some water.

Stir and mix the cream with the rest of the gravy. Switch off the heat.

Lastly add chopped coriander leaves. Stir again very well.

Accompaniments for veg kadai are tandoori roti, naan, chapati, paratha, bread. Also goes well with steamed rice, jeera rice or saffron rice.

Notes:

Add almonds or melon seeds in place of cashews. But note that either will give a unique, different flavor and taste to the gravy.

Omit kasuri methi, if you do not have them or add a light pinch of fenugreek powder.

Feel free to add your choice of vegetables. Keep in mind the cooking time of various vegetables that you want to add. Add veggies which cook longer first and when they are par-cooked, add the vegetables which take shorter time to cook.

Use any colored bell peppers or opt to add a mix of all colored varieties.

Kashmiri red chilies, do not make the dish spicy, but give it a vibrant orange color. For a spicy taste, use dry red chillies that are medium-hot in combination with kashmiri red chilies.

This week, tainted by menstruation, all traces of hope were gone like August. Every week is a promise but when the month changes it never feels that way. Distance across space can stretch and contract but distance in time only grows. I read a piece by Mark Fisher early this week, about how people talk about hope when they don’t have anything else, that to be hopeful you are passive. After taking that in I wondered what it was I had a flourishing hope for after completing menu one. I’m very impressionable. I meant for each menu to stand alone, to not think about the previous week after it was done, but when there are dots I will connect them.

Kitchen tidy ready for cooking

The journey toward menu two began on the Monday, the fourth day of September. I was excited by the Cheeky Plum Sauce, the way I am excited by all things cheeky. They’re mischievous, they’re riveting, they’re crazy, they’re confusing and they’re illusive. But most of all, they are always unattainable. I realised that after visiting seven different supermarkets in two days looking for the 850 gram tin of Black Doris Plums in Juice. Driven crazy, I was prepared to spend $22.99 on a 580 gram jar of Black Doris in Pinot Noir Syrup. I walked to the organic grocery store close to my house in high wind, crouching in front of the baking essentials shelf, I remembered all my past mistakes and realised I had to stop. The next day, a salesman came to my work to ask why we had stopped using him as a supplier. I thought about how we were similar in the sense that we both had issues giving up.

Baking essentials shelf and defeat

I spent Tuesday assembling salads. Around 10PM my flatmate and usual dinner guest came through to the kitchen and remarked man, this is a full time job. The comment stirred inner thoughts and questions regarding the fact that I already have a full time job. I became stressed and tired. The headlining dish of menu two was the Spicy Walnut and Rice Patties. But because of what happened, and I think I intuited this, this week became about something so much bigger than cooking the menu itself. The rice patties fell apart, no longer patties, they were served as fried rice. The dinner party was a success, two salads, fried rice, and a store bought plum sauce were taken to the table. Everyone cleared their plates, seconds were dished up. But I felt so empty. There were three quarters too much onion in potato salad, Bishop and Carruthers had clearly stated one quarter of an onion, and I accidentally threw in the whole thing.I had always intended to do half, but never whole. This menu became a symbol of reinvention. The rice patties were reinvented as fried rice and on Thursday, I got a haircut hoping that it would change everything about myself.

Served and seconds being taken.

Udaipur’s Culinary Secrets: Beyond Dal Baati Churma

When people think of Rajasthani cuisine, the first dish that comes to mind is often Dal Baati Churma — a delicious combination of baked wheat balls, lentils, and sweet crumbled wheat. While this iconic dish truly represents the flavors of Rajasthan, Udaipur’s food culture goes far deeper. The city’s culinary landscape is a fascinating blend of royal delicacies, street food favorites, and hidden gems that reflect its history and geography.

For food lovers, exploring Udaipur’s cuisine is a journey into traditions that have been passed down through generations.

The Royal Influence on Udaipur’s Cuisine

As the seat of the Mewar dynasty, Udaipur’s kitchens were influenced by royal tastes. The Maharajas and Maharanis loved lavish feasts, and their chefs created dishes rich in flavor and presentation.

Laal Maas: A fiery mutton curry made with red chilies and spices, often cooked slowly for hours to enhance its taste.

Safed Maas: A milder dish with a creamy base of yogurt, cashews, and almonds.

Game Meats: Historically, royal feasts featured game meats like wild boar, quail, and venison, cooked with spices and nuts.

Many of these dishes continue to be served in heritage hotels and fine-dining restaurants across Udaipur.

Udaipur’s Street Food Culture

The bustling lanes of Udaipur are packed with vendors serving quick, flavorful snacks. Street food here is not just about taste but also about community and culture.

Kachoris: Deep-fried pastries filled with lentils or onions, best enjoyed with chutneys.

Mirchi Bada: Large green chilies stuffed and fried, a favorite during monsoon.

Poha: Flattened rice cooked with spices, garnished with sev and coriander — a popular breakfast choice.

Bread Pakoras and Samosas: Served hot with masala tea, perfect for evening cravings.

Street food corners near Ghanta Ghar and Fateh Sagar Lake are among the most loved by both locals and tourists.

Sweet Delights of Udaipur

Rajasthan is known for its sweets, and Udaipur is no exception. Beyond churma, the city offers a wide variety of desserts that can satisfy any sweet tooth.

Ghevar: A disc-shaped sweet soaked in sugar syrup, often enjoyed during Teej and Raksha Bandhan.

Malpua: Pancake-like sweets, often paired with rabri.

Moong Dal Halwa: A rich dessert made from ghee and lentils, served warm in winters.

Rabdi: Thickened milk flavored with saffron and nuts, a must-try at local sweet shops.

Vegetarian Paradise

Udaipur is also a haven for vegetarians. With Jain and Vaishnav influences, many restaurants serve dishes without onion and garlic. Some must-try vegetarian delicacies include:

Gatte ki Sabzi: Gram flour dumplings in spicy curry.

Ker Sangri: A desert bean and berry dish, unique to Rajasthan.

Sev Tamatar ki Sabzi: A tangy tomato-based curry topped with crunchy sev.

These humble yet flavorful dishes capture the essence of Rajasthan’s vegetarian culture.

Fusion and Modern Cafés

Alongside its traditional fare, Udaipur has embraced contemporary dining trends. Rooftop cafés overlooking Lake Pichola or Fateh Sagar serve wood-fired pizzas, pastas, and global fusion dishes. These cafés attract younger travelers and offer a balance between traditional Rajasthani flavors and international tastes.

Food Festivals and Local Markets

Exploring Hathi Pol Bazaar and Chetak Circle not only introduces travelers to spices, pickles, and snacks but also reflects the city’s vibrant food culture. Food festivals in Udaipur, often organized in winter, bring together traditional and modern cuisines for a grand celebration.

Culinary Experiences for Tourists

Cooking Classes: Many local families invite tourists to learn the secrets of Rajasthani cooking.

Food Walks: Guided tours through old markets that combine history with bites of local delicacies.

Dining at Heritage Hotels: Offers a royal dining experience with authentic Mewari recipes.

Conclusion

While Dal Baati Churma remains the star of Rajasthani cuisine, Udaipur’s culinary scene is a much richer tapestry. From fiery meat curries and vegetarian specialties to sweet delights and innovative street food, the city is a paradise for food enthusiasts.
