Haryanvi cuisine

Bajre ki Khichdi

A nourishing and dense millet khichdi, often cooked with moong dal, ghee, and buttermilk. Eaten especially in winter — warming and filling. 1)

Hara Dhania Cholia

A unique winter dish using fresh green chickpeas (cholias) cooked with green coriander, spices, and potatoes. Bright and seasonal! 2)

Besan Masala Roti with Ghee and Lahsun Chutney

A spiced gram flour flatbread, pan-fried and generously smeared with ghee. Served with fiery garlic chutney — simple yet powerful. 3)

Bajra Aloo Roti

Thick, coarse pearl millet rotis stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes, often eaten with fresh white butter or curd. 4)

Kachri ki Sabzi

A truly local dish made from kachri, a wild melon native to Haryana. Tangy, spicy, and dry — it pairs beautifully with rotis. 5)

Churma

Crushed wheat rotis soaked in ghee and jaggery, often made during harvest festivals or paired with dal and ghee-laden meals. 6)

Singri ki Sabzi (Ker-Sangri Variant)

Made from dried desert beans or dried singri, cooked with yogurt and spices — a dish that’s common in arid areas of southern Haryana. 7)

Thandai-style Lassi

A flavored buttermilk drink loaded with fennel, cardamom, pepper, and rose, thicker than usual lassi and deeply refreshing in summers. 8)

Meethi Gajar ki Sabzi

A sweet-savory dish made from caramelized winter carrots cooked with jaggery, ghee, and a touch of cardamom. Served with roti. 9)

Mithe Chawal

Sweet rice flavored with cloves, cardamom, saffron, and jaggery, often cooked during festivals or family gatherings. 10)

Dahi Vada (Haryana Style)

Made with urad dal, these vadas are soaked in tangy-spiced curd, with minimal garnishes — more rustic than their Delhi counterparts. 11)

Bathua Raita

A yogurt-based side dish using bathua leaves (wild amaranth), tempered lightly and served chilled — great for digestion. 12)

Kadhi Pakora (Haryanvi Style)

A tangy gram flour-based yogurt curry, thickened with mustard oil and served with fluffy pakoras and rice or bajra rotis. 13)

Gur ka Halwa

A winter delicacy where wheat flour or semolina is roasted in ghee, and cooked with molten jaggery syrup and dry fruits. 14)

Ghee-shakkar with Roti

A no-frills favorite: whole wheat roti smeared with desi ghee and crushed jaggery (shakkar). Comfort food at its most traditional and soul-satisfying. 15)
