Gram flour is a major ingredient here and is used to make some of the delicacies like Khata, Gatte Ki Sabzi and Pakodi. Powdered lentils are used for Mangodi and Papad. Bajra and corn are used all over the state for preparations of Rabdi, Khichdi and Rotis.

A soup of legumes, flavoured with red chilli peppers, yoghurt or milk and sometimes a vegetable such as Okra, Jackfruit, Eggplant, Mustard or Fenugreek leaf. The wealthy can afford to eat meat regularly, but many abstain for religious reasons. Though the Rajasthani kitchen was able to create much from little, it had also to cater to different communities with their own ritual observances.

In this small Oasis situated in the desert, at 120 Km from Jodhpur on the route to Jaisalmer.We stopped for a lunch break.It is a lovely resort, with traditional decoration, lots of green and the restaurant is particularcy good.
We try Yogurth, sauce pakora, several kinds of paneer, and rice pudding.You can also relax in the shadow of the trees.
The resort offers rooms for the night, and has a camp in the desert, where you can spend a night among the dunes.

It is a wonderful restaurant with both Indian and Continental choices. I have been to the Indian part. the food is very good. But, what stands out is the variety in the serving. u get to know the courses on offer and the chef is very much willing to explain to you the delicacy and the preparation.
A treat.

The finest cuisine in India was derived from the Mughals and, along with European cooking, influenced the royal kitchens of India.But in Rajasthan the common man's kitchen remained untouched. Rajasthani cooking was influenced by the war -like lifestyle of its inhabitants and the availability of ingredients in this region.
Cooking here in Rajasthan has its own unique flavour and the simplest ingredients go into preparing most dishes. Scarcity of water and fresh green vegetables have had their impact on the cooking in the desert areas of Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Barmer. Instead of water the women prefer to use milk, buttermilk and clarified butter. Dried lentils and beans from indigenous plants are used liberally. Gram flour is a major ingredient and is used to make delicacies like 'khata', 'ghatta ki sabzi' and 'pakodi'. Bajra and corn, the staple grains, are used to make rotis, 'rabdi' and 'kheechdi'; and various chutneys are made from locally available spices like turmeric, coriander, mint and garlic.

Chokhi Dhani Village has been the mirror of Rajasthani culture since 1989. Started as a restaurant, over the years it has evolved into a theme park showcasing the authentic village life of one of the most colorful states in the country.

Your initial reaction to Chokhi Dhani might be one of a tourist trap it is one of the best ways in which you can experience a Rajasthani village, food & buskers in one place.

Food: The dining hall is renowned for the mouth watering and typical Rajasthani food, served to you on a leaf platter in the tradition of Manuhaar. Let me warn you that the food is heavy with ghee & butter used in profusion but the taste is awesome so be prepared to over indulge. The service is a bit too intrusive and if you dont like wasting food you will find it offensive as the waiters continue to serve you if you empty your plate so you have to waste some food if you want them to stop.

Buskers: The whole place has a myriad of buskers. Some interesting ones are listed below.

Kalbeli Dance: Traditional snake charmers, the folk dancers sway to the lilt of the ?Been? and beat of the drum. Their graceful and sinuous dance movements captivate all visitors

Bhopa Bhopi: Chokhi Dhani Village features true children of the desert. They sing and dance to the old folk songs of Rajasthan. You would find it hard not to join in.

Puppet Show: The colorful Puppet Show transports you into the world of valiant Kings, beautiful princesses and all powerful magicians. The puppeteer makes episodes and scenes from their lives come alive to give you a glimpse of their lifestyle.

Bamboo Balancing: See this gutsy feat live. The brave artiste balances himself on a bamboo without the protection of a safety net beneath.

Fortune Teller Parrot: Let the parrot pick the card that predicts your future and answer your queries. This is a traditional way of knowing about future and has been practiced in Egyptian and Roman civilizations as well.

Favorite Dish: As you enter Chokhi Dhani you will be greeted in the traditional way by a lady who will apply kumkum to your forehead and shower flower petals on you. You then make your way towards the dining hall through an open ground full of buskers. The dining hall is typically full and you might have to wait for 30 - 45 minutes but then there is no dearth of things to do here and the only risk you run is of missing your seat because you were too engrossed in watching some dance of magic trick.

The food is awesome and heavy. Good for an experience but certainly deadly if eaten everyday : ). Ker sangri, kadhi, khichadi, bhakri, papad are some of the specialities. They serve white butter in small terracotta plates for eating with the bhakri (thick bread made from millet flour) and buttermilk in terracotta glasses.

While staying in Jaisalmer, I finished the day eating at La Purezza, a delicious Italian restaurant inside the fort. I don't usually eat western food while traveling abroad, especially with the exotic and delicious Indian cuisine, but tonight was an exception. Eating atop their terrace, I managed to see the beautiful city lights below. I also caught eyes of a large bat population waking up in the night and going out hunting for food.
