What this tour is about

The cuisine of Mewar is inspired by the rugged topography of Rajasthan and indigenously available ingredients. Plenty of legumes, pulses and the use of milk, curd and buttermilk for the gravies is the hallmark of Mewar cuisine.

On this tour, we will walk through a local bazaar with a Food Guide, for an introduction to the unique cuisine of Mewar. We will look at all the local specialties offered in the markets, including Udaipur’s popular street snacks.

Authentic Udaipur street food is best enjoyed in its original setting, in the noisy labyrinthine by-lanes of Old City, where the famous Jagdish Temple share space with historic City Palace. The elaborated complex pattern of wires slightly higher in the sky, the historical architectural patterns and the creative ability to design a khopcha (shop built in almost no place) is a distinct feature particular to Old City alone. It might emerge as a hyperbolic remark when one states that the by lanes of this walled city speak to you about their own history. Such serene settings in the morning can make anyone crave for a walk, not only because of the tranquil experience, but to relish the most eclectic menu served at this place.

The dishes one can savor in Old City are large, thick and juicy jalebis, glistening with ghee; Aloo chaat crisp fried potato cutlets dunked in a melange of chutneys and smattered with onions and spices ; varieties of Kachories & Samosas will blow your taste buds.,

After the walk, we will visit a local home for an interactive cooking session, followed by lunch. You can choose to participate in the cooking, or merely watch and photograph it. Please note, this cuisine is vegetarian.
