Jaisalmer caters to the Rajasthani cuisine, mostly influenced by the war-like lifestyle. By war-like lifestyle, we mean that the locals take heavy meals so as to stay full for a long time. Also, since Jaisalmer is a desert city, the food habit of the locals incorporates coolants like lassi, chaach (buttermilk), and a variety of sharbat (syrups).<\/span><\/p>\n

Following are some of the delicious local food of Jaisalmer worth trying at least once in life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dal-bati Churma<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dal Bati is a flagship dish of Rajasthan. Bati is a baked or deep-fried ball of flour. It is then dipped in ghee (butter). The locals crush the bati in dal and eat them with hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Churma is made of flour. People roast the dry wheat flour in ghee and add melted sugar and dry fruits to prepare this sweet dish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ker Sangri<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ker Sangri is a vegetable prepared with desert beans and <\/span>capers<\/span><\/a>. These are locally grown and can be stored for years. The dish has a tangy taste because of Ker. Ker is so sour that it needs to be soaked in salt water for days to reduce its sourness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pyaz Kachori<\/span><\/h2>\n

You can find Kachori almost everywhere in India. Jaisalmer has a different version of it. Instead of spiced gram flour stuffing, locals here stuff the Kachori with fried onion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ghotua<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ghotua is the traditional dessert of the region. It is a gram flour, khoya or mawa, pure ghee, and sugar preparation. Such a great taste with minimal ingredients – that’s Ghotua!<\/span><\/p>\n

Lassi<\/span><\/h2>\n
