-


Cuisines of Rajasthan are rich, colorful and unique to fill your palette and tease your taste buds. The essential ingredients in most of the recipes are milk, lots of clarified butter (ghee) and local spices. Amongst the cuisines, Dal Bati Churma, Ker Sangri, and Laal Maas- these premium dishes top the charts of popularity. Food lovers and critics from around the world have come and tasted them at least once.

Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer is called the golden city of Rajasthan. The city sits beautifully amidst the golden dunes of the Thar. It also houses the most beautiful lakes, and magnificent architecture like the palaces, Havelis, and ornate Jain temples, and the most awe-inspiring luxury hotels in Jaisalmer Rajasthan.



There are many beautiful palaces turned into luxurious hotels that cascade the entire city. In case you are planning a Rajasthan palace wedding then Jaisalmer should be your destination. In the past few years, people have been scouting for destination wedding places in Rajasthan just because of the richness of culture and adding a heritage architecture as a backdrop of the wedding. Anyhow, these palaces are the perfect wedding venues in Rajasthan.

Jaisalmer cuisine mirrors the richness in the city’s culture and their closeness to the desert and is much milder in spice as compared to other spots in Rajasthan.

Dal Bati Churma

Dal Bati Churma is almost like the national dish of Rajasthan. It is prepared using whole wheat flour, roasted over firewood. The Batis are nothing but hard round-shaped dumplings that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Dal is made up of lentils that are soaked in water overnight and later cooked over firewood with added spices.


The Churma is the crushed Batiis dipped in ghee and mixed with sugar or Jaggery. The three items – baked Bati, Dal and Jaggery blended Churma – are combined to make a hearty and delicious meal. You cannot leave the golden city of Jaisalmer without trying this classic dish. It is part of every menu of a Rajasthan palace wedding.

Laal Maas

Laal Maas is the traditional red mutton curry that is the royal cuisine of Rajasthan. It is prepared using red meat (Maas) cooked with a thick spicy combination of mathania chilies, and yogurt. The red chilies give it the rich red color and fiery taste. You can ask for a milder version of Laal Maas, which is cooked with variation in the spice level. 



The accompaniments with this dish are either aromatic rice or the chapatti (Indian flatbread). This dish goes into every menu of a Rajasthan palace wedding. Laal Maas, in the yesteryears, was considered a royal dish and was consumed only by the royalty.

Ker Sangri

It is a traditional cuisine prepared with dried Ker berry and Sangri beans. This dish is famous in the Marwad region of Rajasthan and places like Jaisalmer which is predominantly a desert. In such sandy areas, the soil allows only berries and beans to be harvested.

You may have put your best suit on for that office party, spent a lot of time and money on grooming yourself for the evening and done pretty much everything in your powers to make an impression on your colleagues on the evening but all that would count for nothing if you goof up with your choice of formal footwear. Yes, shoes have the power to make or break your look; all the more if you are talking of formal shoes. This is why it often makes sense for you to experiment with what you wear to formal events. Agreed that those black formal shoes for men or any pair of branded formal shoes for men in general is a much safer option, but more often than not it won’t get you noticed. What else do you expect when 9 out of 10 people at the occasion are wearing the exact same thing?  This is a where a pair of classic moccasins comes in really handy. Moccasins are not the same as loafers! The first thought to come to your mind when you talk of moccasins would pretty much be, “Wait!...

The passion & zest for owning the best & stylish footwear there is within their inner circle, has undoubtedly driven men to own the best they can afford. There’s also a lore behind why men love shoes as reflected in shoemaker John Wildsmith’s cleverly-devised statement.
