The ongoing Aadi Mahotsav at Dilli Haat here is attracting a stream of visitors. While the cultural extravaganza is a crowd puller, food lovers are spoilt for choice given the array of tribal cuisine on offer.
Chapada chutney or red ant chutney had many takers. Chapada chutney, made from red ants, is said to be not only tasty but also helps keep diseases at bay.
Mahua dishes also garnered much interest. Mahua trees are commonly available all over the forests of central and western India. Not surprising then are the mahua dishes – ranging from mahua tea to mahua shakarpara.
One can also enjoy other exotic, tasty foods. Such as Dhuska (deep-fried snack made of powdered rice), Banjara Biryani, Thapdi Roti, Herbal Teas, Daal Baati Churma, Thapdi Roti, and Araku coffee from different parts of the country.
Tribal food is simple, nutritious, and edible. Explore the information about The Indian Tribal Cuisine in Chhattisgarh with The Indian Tribal. There is a preference of different types of millets among the tribals – hence dishes made out of major and minor millets are available. Such as Ragi Pakodas and Madwa rotis from Jharkhand, and Ragi Idlis and Dosas from Tamil Nadu.
