Cuisine of Uttarakhand (Continued)
barkha verma
The cuisine of Uttarakhand reflects its mountain environment — simple, nutritious, warming, and deeply rooted in hill agricultural traditions. Kafuli (a thick curry from spinach or fenugreek) is the most beloved Garhwali dish. Gahat dal (horse gram) is earthy and satisfying. Jhangora kheer (barnyard millet pudding) is celebratory. Almora's Bal Mithai — brown caramelised khoya coated in white sugar balls — is the most iconic Kumaoni sweet. Bhang ki Chutney (hemp seed pesto), Aloo Ke Gutke (spiced dry potatoes), and Buransh juice (rhododendron flower) are distinctive local flavours. Traditional beverages include Chhang (fermented barley beer) at high altitude.
