Rajasthani cuisine is rich, colourful and unique just like it's culture. Rajasthani food has been influenced by the dearth of vegetables and water in this arid state. Due to the availability of gram in abundance, there are many recipes of Rajasthan, which are besan( gram flour) centric. Due to scarcity of vegetables, they are usually combined with pulses, grains or besan to make them more wholesome.

Rajasthani Bhindi is the crispy and crunchy stuffed bhindi recipe flavored with several Indian spices and gram flour( besan). The ladyfingers are not deep-fried yet cooked till crisp. It is one of the tastiest recipe of Rajasthani cuisine and great to serve with ghee roti.
