AT SOME POINT or other in life, we all have peeked into the dessert spread before starting our meals. I caught myself doing it during my recent tour through Rajasthan. However, they don't really classify as desserts because people of Rajasthan have it anytime before, after, and during meals.
Rajasthan, in spite of its arid landscape and geographical conditions, is one of the leading states for innovative and exciting sweets. These sweets aren't made with any rare ingredients, but with two regular food elements-chickpea (gram) flour and milk. The chickpea grows in abundance in Rajasthan; the state contributes to 14 per cent of India's total produce. It also ranks third in the production of milk in India.
With culinary skills that have been passed down generations, Rajasthan has preserved its recipes, and the regional sweet dishes have evolved into newer versions. Almost every region has a signature dish, and the experience of travelling across the state is enhanced by these dishes. After all, it is the food that makes the place.
Here are top five sweets that have their origin in different cities of Rajasthan. So, next time you are in these popular tourist destinations, do treat your taste buds to these unique preparations.
