04 Dec, 2018 by Sonal Kellogg
Rajasthan is well known for its forts, culture and food. Its tourism is well developed with lots of tourist places, forts to visit and fairs to see. Along with tourism, its food has also developed. Dal Bati Churma, Lal Maas, and Gatte Ki Subzi are its most popular dishes. In Gujarat, being more inclined towards vegetarianism, Dal Bati Churma has gained popularity.
The dish consists mainly of Baked Wheat Balls, Dal, Ghee, Gur and accompaniments like pickles and chutneys, which is a wholesome meal. It is good in all seasons but in winter the ghee and gur are supposed to also help in warding off the cold so it is especially popular across the border in Gujarat in the winter months.
