Royalty at its best!

Rajasthan pre 1949 was termed Rajputana. The name originated from Rajputs, a royal warrior. The word Rajput formed from the Sanskrit word Raja-Putra means Son of King. Rajputs rose to prominence between 6^th to 12^th centuries and owned the majority of the princely states of Rajasthan. There were 23 princely owned states, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Ajmer to name a few. Rajasthan is eminent for palaces and forts. The region has a rich cultural history.

Rajasthani cuisine is influenced by war-like situations and also based on the availability of ingredients. Due to war, the food was cooked in a way that it can be preserved and eaten after 2 days without heating. Rajasthani food contains less water and green vegetables. Ghee is an essential part of Rajasthani cuisine. Rajputs are tough warriors and their diets also reflect this persona. Rajputs eat what they hunt. Food tends to be spicy and caters more towards the vegetarian palate. Rajput cuisine is more rustic in nature and there are no desserts in their cuisine as Rajputs devour sweets throughout the meal.
