Chokhi Dhani is a concept to join the Rajasthani tribes from the world.
Nowadays
tourists are very much aware of Rajasthan and its culture. But still
they are far-far away from its roots. They know only a state of Kings...
a place of snake charmers... and an emerging handicraft's industry. But
real Rajasthan is still there in villages, paintings, art Bani Thani,
the wall decorations, the cow dung plaster, the pure food, the fresh
air, the evening performances, the enthusiasm, the 'manuhar' (mouthful
catering), the traditions, and the costumes and at last but not least
the feelings.
At Chokhi Dhani we bring that all for
you. Our aim is to preserve and encourage the village art and culture,
to get today's generation closer to their past, to change the philosophy
of world about Indian village culture. For example, most of the people
think that cow dung is a dirty thing and contains germs, but the reality
is cow dung has the power to control many diseases, it is an
anti-septic, and it controls mosquitoes. That is why in villages people
put its plaster on the walls.

The dining hall -
Sangri is renowned for the mouth-watering and typical Rajasthani food,
served to you in the tradition of Manuhaar. Your taste buds will
remember this treat for a long time, while the warmth of service will
stay in your heart forever. (Clarified butter) as the medium of cooking.
A
favourite sweet dish called lapsi is prepared with broken wheat (dalia)
sautéed in ghee and sweetened. Perhaps the best-known Rajasthani food
is the combination of dal, bati and churma (dal is lentils; bati is
baked wheat ball; and churma is powdered sweetened cereal), but for the
adventurous traveller, willing to experiment, there is a lot of variety
available.
The ancient princely state of Rajasthan gave
rise to a royal cuisine. Even today, Rajasthani princely feasts flaunt
royal cuisines that are incomparable. Their food cooked in desi ghee is
famous for its mouth- watering aroma. Rajasthan's tastiest curries are
based on the use of pulses or gram flour. Dry fruits, spices and yogurt
are used in many delicacies. Rajasthan can also boast of a vast array of
savouries and sun-dried snacks. Be it dal baati and churma or missi
roti, one always ends up licking his fingers.
Your tummy will scream "No more!" But you won't stop!!!
