Daal Baati Choorma

This has to be at number 1. This is one of the most popular Rajasthani foods. You can enjoy it any authentic Rajasthani restaurant around the country, but the taste of Udaipur is exclusive. Family hotels in Udaipur do serve the dish, but we suggest you try it once from a roadside stall. The aroma of pure ghee and local spices added in the tadka of daal is simply awesome. And choorma, you won’t forget the sweetness again! Guaranteed.

Mirchi Bada

Rajasthani Mirchi is famous around the world. So how can you afford not tasting the iconic food when in Udaipur? Mirchi bada is not just any Mirchi fried in the besan batter. It is prepared with spiced potatoes and fried till crisp. The local spice mix and lemon juice are what makes Udaipur’s Mirchi Bada distinctive. Whatever hotel in Udaipur city you are staying in, don’t forget to order it as a first evening snack. Our next food on the list will serve as the perfect companion.

Hari Mirch Chai

As we were relishing the famous Rajasthani Mirchi in our words, Hari Mirch chai is another uniqueness of Udaipur. Hot kadak chai spiced up with tikhi Hari Mirchi will warm up your senses. This drink can complement any meal of the day. Relish the taste of this unique chai as you may not taste it anywhere anytime soon!

Kulhad Coffee

Yeah, you read it right. It’s written coffee not tea. You have savored the tea served in kulhad many times before and at various places - railway stations, tea stalls, office canteen and roadside dhabas. But coffee served in a kulhad is a different kind of flavor madness. Just imagine, the strong and invigorating taste of coffee smudged with the earthy scent of clay cups (also called mitti like cups). The taste will remain with you throughout your life, re-evolving every time you drink the routine coffee.
