Foods to eat in Rajasthan
Being the land of Rajputs , Rajasthani Cuisine was influenced by both the war-like lifestyles of its inhabitants and the availability of ingredients. Food that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred. It also influenced by rich heritage and arid climatic conditions.

A few common ingredients are beans, lentils, gram flour, corn, barley, millet, bajra, bread and dairy products (esp. Ghee). There is more focus towards vegetarian food, but various kinds of meat dishes also available.
