Food in Ajitgarh

Food in Ajitgarh is predominantly influenced by Punjabi cuisine. That is because the majority of population is Punjabi by birth. At the same time, it cannot be denied that the city has now acquired a cosmopolitan outlook. If you undertake a survey of different kinds of eateries within the city, you will find that Mughlai, South Indian, Chinese and Italian dishes are as popular as home grown Punjabi cuisine.

Punjabi Cuisine in Ajitgarh

If you truly want to sample the best Punjabi food in Ajitgarh, you should look for an invitation in a Punjabi home. There is indeed a difference between home cooked food and restaurant meals. At the restaurants, chefs often deviate from the original recipe; but at home people generally tend to stick to tradition, especially when there is a guest coming. 

It is to be remembered that Punjab is a major producer of wheat and milk. That is why by tradition Punjabi dishes have good dollop of clarified butter in them. However, today many health conscious people have started using sunflower oil instead of clarified butter. Another point to remember is that, though Punjabis are predominantly non vegetarian, they also prepare many vegetarian dishes. Their Sarson da Sag and Makki Di Roti have almost become a cliché. Rajma and rice is another of their popular food made famous all over the world.

Another point to remember is that although Punjabi cuisine is more famous for its chicken and meat dishes, fish is also used extensively in different preparation. Most fishes used are fresh water variety.
