What You’ll Experience

Traditional vegetarian Rajasthani cooking is a rich and flavorful culinary tradition shaped by the region’s arid climate and royal heritage. With limited access to fresh greens due to the desert environment, the cuisine relies on lentils, grains like millet and wheat, dried vegetables, and dairy products such as ghee, buttermilk, and curd. Rajasthani food is known for its bold use of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and asafoetida, which enhance both flavor and digestion. Meals are often cooked over an open fire, using traditional techniques passed down through generations, making the cuisine not just a feast for the palate but also a cultural experience deeply rooted in Rajasthan’s heritage. You will prepare and enjoy a traditional vegetarian meal: *Prepare fresh vegetables *Learn the art of Rajasthani cooking, from spice blends to traditional techniques *Cook over an open fire, as past desert dwellers have done You will meet the family who run the farm and learn about their life. They will show you the farm, their home and enjoy time with you while cooking and eating. This is an authentic experience for any traveller who wants more than just the regular tourist trail.
