Top 4 Food Places In Jodhpur - Royal Rajasthan

Jodhpur's Best Food Places To Visit

Still, besides the magnificent stronghold and royal palace, it'll surely be the generous serving of desi ghee in nearly all the dishes, if one were to pick that one thing that stands out in the blue city. Rajasthani cookery has a unique charm to it. It's intriguing to see how a state, where water is so precious, tactfully uses locally available constituents to produce some lip-smacking dishes. Dairy products like ghee and milk are thus the foundation of the best medicines, and when combined with spices, the dishes transform into extraordinary commodities – rich, succulent, and bursting with flavor.

For a food sucker, there's plenitude to choose from in Jodhpur. The submissive chow is what it's famed for, especially the elaborate thalis that showcase a number of pleasurable medications – bajra roti, kadhi, ker sangria, Gatta curry, dal bati churma, farsan, sogara, dal, paneer, Marwari pulao, chutney, mukhwas, etc. You do need to have a good quantum of time or a bottomless hole to savor these dishes to your heart’s content. 

Also, there are the original snacks – samosa, kachori, and Mirchi Bada. Nothing like it! Chances are that the tempting smell of freshly made kachoris is going to catch you in the interior. You'll find yourself choosing between the different kinds – Mawa Kachori, Pyaaz Kachori, Plain Kachori, and the like. Team them up with a mug of masala chai and that's pure bliss. And if all these treats have got you thinking that it's no place for meat suckers, you're in for a big surprise. 

The famous mutton dish Lal Maas will have you hitting the roof with the high spice level, but it will be difficult to resist smelling the tender, slow-cooked meat. It's stylish teamed with crisp Tandoori Rotis laden with ghee, or if you want to go a step further in indulgence, call for Warqi Parathas that are actually made with ghee. Also, there are other godly medications to look out for – Jungli Maas, Khad Khargosh (rabbit), Bater (quail), and Rally, among others. 

With the sweets, you'll be spoilt for choice again. Rajasthani folks take their sweets seriously and are known for balushahi, julan jamuns, malpua, ghevar, churma, besan chakki, makhan bada, imarti, jhajariya—you name it! If you're visiting Jodhpur for the weekend and would like to taste the original cookery and enjoy the palpitation of the city, then here are 4 restaurants that will surely satisfy you—
