Karhi, popularly known as khatta, is made up of buttermilk or yogurt mixed with chickpea flour, mustard seeds and crushed garlic cloves and it is said that longer it stays on the fire, the better it tastes. ‘Gatte ka saag’, made using freshly made dumplings of chickpea flour and ‘badi ka saag’ made using sun-dried moth-lentil dumplings along with ‘khichra’ a porridge of millets and moth lentils that are cooked along with water, a little spice and some ghee in combination with either jaggery or karhi form a staple part of Rajasthani diet. The hot red-chilli-and-garlic chutney (a type of tangy Indian sauce) ‘raabori’, millet flour cooked in buttermilk, which is believed to be an excellent coolant in the summers) are quite popular with the food. Sangri and ker (a hard desert berry) abounds in the preparation of Rajasthani meals as vegetables.

Though sweet preparations are few, Bikaneri sweet specialists are known all over the country for their delicious preparations. ‘Seera’, made of wheat flour in ghee and ‘laapsi’, a porridge made with desiccated grains of wheat are the common desserts of the state along with sweetened rice dressed with saffron and dried nuts and raisins.
