I wonder which one I had? It was probably the one sans onion and garlic, going by the moong daal - and I didn't get any garlic chutney either! You're right, they did serve namkeen. Will try the dahi wadas next time. I dunno if Chokhi dhani has improved - we were there about 4 years ago and it was a real disappointment. But I did hear about a new place called aapro jaipur/ rajasthan which serves traditional food, accompanied by folk art performances.<BR/><BR/>Asha,<BR/><BR/>You must visit Rajasthan - it's lovely, and one gets a real sense of history - Alauddin khilji and so on.<BR/><BR/>NC,<BR/><BR/>I had heard from some people that the bus stand was the best place to get authentic food, but since I was on my own, didn't want to venture there. I have had LMB Ghewar several times, and I love it - though it's tremendously heavy. The pheni I got back this time is superb too - we top it with powdered sugar+ cardamom and pour hot plain milk on top - it also tastes good just eaten with the sugar mix.<BR/><BR/>Vimmi,<BR/><BR/>My trip has inspired a desire to do a driving tour of Rajasthan with family - hopefully within the next year. i'm looking forward to eating at all these chutku restaurants...:)bird's eye viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338332150874851183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977464887362244927.post-51977075089432824612007-11-26T11:32:00.000-08:002007-11-26T11:32:00.000-08:00My hubby and i had been to rajasthan some yrs back...My hubby and i had been to rajasthan some yrs back and the foood was amazing. We visited Udaipur, Jaipur, and Mount Abu. We ate in small hotels which offered unlimited food and the food was amazing. <BR/>UR ARTICLE HAS BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>uvimmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12154869854921323909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977464887362244927.post-43073810239190640432007-11-26T11:18:00.000-08:002007-11-26T11:18:00.000-08:00I am from Jaipur...the next time you go there, try...I am from Jaipur...the next time you go there, try Chokhi Dhaani...they really do have typical rajasthani food. Apart from that my other favorite place to eat good food are the road side dhabas (Sharma Bhojnalaya and such) on the bus stand. Their daal baati thaalis are very good, although a little spicey. Also try the Kachori at Rawat Sweets & namkeens, again very close to the bus stand.<BR/>At LMB the thing to try is Ghewar...I think they make that the best. Its a sweet dish and they have a malai version that you can eat fresh and a dry version that can be brought home, soaked in sugar syrup and eaten (I am missing all this food soo much that my eyes are welling now )<BR/>anyways...also try Raaj Kachori if you get it somewhere in Jaipur. But definitely for traditional food, chokhi dhaani is a must try atleast once.NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455350360583603283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977464887362244927.post-79868500645341151122007-11-26T04:43:00.000-08:002007-11-26T04:43:00.000-08:00I have yet to see the North, Jaipur sounds and loo...I have yet to see the North, Jaipur sounds and looks so beautiful!:))FHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120251231228218853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977464887362244927.post-11206601540374089212007-11-26T04:33:00.000-08:002007-11-26T04:33:00.000-08:00Hi,I just read your post on Jaipur.Even I visited ...Hi,<BR/>I just read your post on Jaipur.Even I visited Jaipur a month ago and had a meal in LMB, the Rajasthani thaal.As I was reading your post I remembered each and every dish in the thaal, Delicious.<BR/>You know there are 2 options in thal, one with onion and garlic and the other without.The one with onions is the spicy one and you get garlic chutney with it.But since no one guided me I got to eat the bland one.The sweet tangy veg is methi seeds with raisins.The dal had urad and chana dal.<BR/><BR/>That one huge thali was enough to fill my tummy.If you remember they also served namkin also with the thali.I liked the soup too.<BR/>I was eying the onion kachoris too.Next time have the dahi wadas, they were ok.The dahi could have been better.<BR/>I don't mind visiting the place again for food.<BR/>While returning I saw a board on the outskirts Chokhi Dhani eating place.Supposed to be good.Thanks for reviving my Jaipur memories again :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
