Garhwali Cuisine
Garhwali Cuisine is a traditional culinary style from the Garhwal region in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is characterized by its use of local ingredients, including grains like mandua (finger millet) and jhangora (barnyard millet), as well as fresh vegetables and herbs. The cuisine often features simple, wholesome dishes that are both nutritious and flavorful, reflecting the agricultural lifestyle of the region.
Common dishes in Garhwali cuisine include aaloo ke gutke (spiced potatoes), kafuli (a green leafy vegetable dish), and phaanu (a type of lentil preparation). Meals are typically accompanied by roti or rice, and the use of minimal spices allows the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.
