From the desert state of Rajasthan, this one’s a delight. The Rajasthani people were often
deprived of fresh vegetables and fruits in their hostile arid environment. Most also happened to
be die-hard vegetarians. They used non-perishable dried legumes, and root vegetables such as
potatoes, onions and garlic capable of prolonged storage. They honed their vegetarian skills into
a fine art that has withstood the test of time.
