Top 5 Mouthwatering Dishes Worth Trying In Udaipur

One of the things that Udaipur is best known for is rich food that results from an incredible cooking style that is heavy on spices. This Indian city’s cuisine boasts elements from different countries including Asia and South America; precisely from China, Mexico, and Lebanon. What’s more, the cuisine caters to people with different dietary preferences including vegans and nonvegetarians. In other words, Udaipur can offer you pretty anything you want in terms of delicacies. If you are visiting the city, here are the top 5 dishes one of which you should at least try; 

1. Thali Bhojanam

In English, the words “Thali” and “Bhojanam” translate to “metal” and “full meals,” respectively. Therefore Thali Bhojanam simply refers to full meals served on a wide metal platter. 

Thali bhojanam is a popular dish not only in Udaipur but in the Rajasthan state at large. Also common in other North Indian states like Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, this must-try delicacy consists of several parts that bring out all the six different flavors or tastes of food. These tastes are; sweet, bitter, sour, salty, spicy, and astringent. This is in line with the Indian food custom where Indians believe that a proper meal should consist of a perfect balance of all the six flavors or tastes of food.

Whether you are a vegetarian or a nonvegetarian, there’s plenty of options for you as far as thali bhojanam goes. Remember that different variations of this dish are available. Vegetarian thalis consist mainly of different kinds of whole grains, vegetables, meats, and stuff that is derived from animals. These include rice, bread, lentils, chutney(a spicy Indian condiment made of vegetables or fruits with sugar, spices, and vinegar), and raita(a side dish of Indian origin that consists of yogurt that contains a wide range of chopped spices and vegetables). Non Vegetarian thalis include meat on top of the nutrients above.

2. Dabeli

This is a popular food in Udaipur that is delicious, filling, and very addictive. This snack delicacy consists of the Indian burger bun that is locally known as “pav”, potatoes, and peanuts. It is also made of pomegranate and masala. The bun is filled with the other ingredients above, which are combined to form a spicy, tangy filling. 

Many restaurants in the city and food kiosks downtown sell this delicacy as a quick snack that you grab with a bottle of soda. Be careful where you order your dabeli downtown as some eateries and outdoor vendors do not observe high hygiene standards. 

3. Pav Bhaji

Pav bhaji is another tantalizing dish you don’t want to conclude your trip without trying. This top-rated delicacy consists of a highly seasoned meal of boiled, mashed, and slow-simmered vegetables. The vegetables are spiced with an incredible array of spices. Served on the sides of the plate are; a piece of pan-fried bread, a few slices of lemon, and sweet red onions. Each side item is in a separate compartment as the dish is served in a large, metallic, partitioned platter with several compartments. This is a terrific choice for vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike. 

Just like dabeli, this is also a very popular delicacy in town and it’s part of the menus offered by many restaurants. Just ask for it at your favorite restaurant and you won’t be disappointed. 

I even learned how to make it. All you need are ten basic ingredients namely; peppercorn, coriander seeds, black cardamom, some green cardamoms, and fennel seeds. The rest are; cumin or jeera, red chilies, cinnamon, and cloves. 

For those who use a meal kit delivery service, you can obtain most of these ingredients from your meal kit delivery service providers. I know of like ten different meal kit providers I could recommend to those in search of a trustworthy meal kit delivery service. If you are one of them, you could check out Home Chef, Blue Apron, Sun Basket, Hello Fresh, Purple Carrot, and Freshology. You could also consider Marley Spoon, Everyplate, Grubhub, and Seamless. 

Notably, each entity has something that sets it apart from the rest. For example, Blue Apron sets itself apart from the rest with its unrivaled gourmet meal kits. For more about each service, here’s a fact-based and knowledge-packed review post you might want to read (on the example of New York meal delivery services). By reading it, you’ll see why Freshology is the best option for those who struggle with weight loss. Also, you’ll discover which entity is the cheapest of all, and get many other details about these meal kit delivery services, including the advantages and disadvantages of each.

4. Mirchi Bada

Mirchi bada is another delectable snack you just must try when visiting Udaipur. This delicacy consists of a roll that is made with besan, which refers to chickpea flour used in baking. The roll is stuffed with a sumptuous filling of coconut, peanuts, coriander seeds, and carom seeds. For a more mouthwatering experience, the dish can be served with a spicy soup that is made with all manner of spices and herbs.

Mirchi Bada is one of the best savoring dishes that is focused in Udaipur and by this we mean that mirchi bada is one of the most savoring meal that has been ever tasted in Udaipur by tourists and people around Udaipur. 

5. Baati 

Cooked in many parts of Rajasthan(the state where Udaipur is located), this hard, unleavened bread is yummy and so rich in flavor that you won’t be able to resist it. The bread is known for its high nutritional value and long shelf life. For a more delectable, filling, and healthy meal, it’s commonly taken with dal(split pulse stew). You can also take it with churma(a melt-in-your-mouth side dish made of ground, crushed wheat cooked with sugar and ghee or clarified butter). 

Final Thoughts

Udaipur is prized not only for its unique attractions but also for its unsurpassed variety of mouthwatering delicacies. For those who are visiting the city, there are certain foods that you just can’t conclude the trip without trying. The list includes thali bhojanam, dabeli, pav bhaji, mirchi bada, and baati. Try these delectable options or at least one of them and you can thank me later.

Decent Meals In Udaipur

Savoring The Flavors Of Udaipur – Where Every Meal Is A Royal Feast!

When you are a first time traveler in a particular destination, you are not sure where to have a meal which is satisfying. Here I recommend 4 places which offer delicious food in great ambience and pleasing service. Most important, they are value for money and one does not regret spending on the meal.

Viraasat

399-400 Gopal Bhawan, Kalaji Goraji Marg, Near Vinayak Hotel, Udaipur

Viraasat as the name suggests is a restaurant where yu are served Traditional Rajasthani food in very pleasing ambience. They have seating in covered area as well as in the garden so ideal for soaking in the winter sun and enjoying the evenings by the seegris.

The menu is extensive with soups, salads and authentic Mewari food. I strongly recommend their thali which is delicious and value for money. They have Tandoor operational all the time and that’s a big plus point as you can enjoy Tandoori chapattis and other preparations.  The locals love Viraasat’s  Laal Maas, Bati, Choorma Ladoo and a lot more.

Very well maintained and operated professionally by the polite owners themselves.

The Little Prince Restaurant

Chandpole, Near Walking Bridge, Hanuman Ghat Area, Udaipur  

Tucked nicely close to the walking bridge, this simple restaurant has very chilled out vibes. There is usually a team of two boys who look into your order, disappear in the kitchen and come up with a very well presented dish you ordered. You will be surprised to see an offbeat menu here with authentic Israeli and Korean dishes besides the popular Continental and Indian preparations. We tried Falafel Lifafa, Israeli Platter, Thupka and Momos – all were excellent in taste and presentation with mouth watering accompaniment dips and sauces.

And yes, ask for your favourite smoothie or Coffee with  French fries and just soak in the calm environs for here is the peaceful side of the city right besides lake Pichola.

With warm service, decent pricing, this place is worth a visit.

Millets Of  Mewar 

Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, 25, Sajjan vihar, near biological park, Udaipur

Known to be India’s 6th healthiest restaurant, the owners truly deserve a pat on the back for presenting food which is healthy, nutritious and uses forgotten Indian grains and millets. Their research to recreate special vegetarian recipes has been successful as the food is delicious. The menu is extensive and every dish is worth trying. Our vote goes for Millets Aloo Tikki and Daal Bati Churma thali which are absolutely outstanding.

The service is efficient and ambience very pleasing. They have vegan and gluten free options too. A must visit for offbeat, healthy food.

Tribute

Rang Sagar, Udaipur

If you are seeking a place for a special occasion, then a meal at this restaurant is worth trying. Beautiful location by the lake and aesthetically done restaurant, it is a destination in itself, done on the theme of horses, legendary Chetak, to be precise.

Food is delicious though a bit on the high price. But then sometimes you pay for best memories. The candle lit tables, the view and service, everything combines to give a memorable experience indeed! 

With such beautiful places in town, it attracts and encourages more people to visit and travel to Udaipur. As Udaipur has the best places, there are tourists to do not know about the serenity and beauty these places hold but are eager to know about them. The ambiance of the city is more engaging and these places hold special view and beautiful environment around.
