Must-Try Dishes at Any Restaurant in Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer is not just about the golden fort and sand dunes — the food here is equally legendary. If you are visiting a restaurant in Jaisalmer for the first time, here are the 5 dishes you absolutely must order.

1. Dal Baati Churma

This is Rajasthan on a plate. Hard wheat balls (baati) baked over fire, dipped in ghee, served with thick lentil dal and sweet churma. At Jor Bagh, we prepare this the traditional way — no shortcuts.

2. Rajasthani Thali

An unlimited thali with dal, baati, ker sangri, gatte ki sabzi, bajra roti, kadhi, rice, papad and a sweet. One plate, the whole of Rajasthan.

3. Ker Sangri

A wild berry and desert bean found only in the Thar Desert. Slow-cooked with Rajasthani spices. You cannot get this anywhere outside Rajasthan.

4. Gatte ki Sabzi

Gram flour dumplings in a spiced yoghurt curry. Rich, tangy and deeply satisfying.

5. Bajre ki Roti

Pearl millet flatbread — the staple bread of the desert. Earthy, filling and delicious with any sabzi.
