Jodhpuri Pulao

Hello friend,

Am back with yet another Blogging Marathon. This time my theme is Rajasthani recipes.

Rajasthan is located in the northwest of India. Rajasthani cooking was influenced by both the war-like lifestyles of its inhabitants and the availability of ingredients in this arid region. Food that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred. Scarcity of water and fresh green vegetables have all had their effect on the cooking. Rajasthan is known for tough people and tough food.
