Famous Food of Madhya Pradesh

1. Bhutte ka kees

As the name suggests, this dish is mainly bhutta (corn). It’s a speciality dish from Indore that has become a much-loved street food. Essentially, it is grated corn simmered in milk with Indian spices. It also has a hint of mustard seeds and green chilli to add that bite.

2. Dal bafla

Dal bafla draws inspiration from Rajasthan’s speciality daal bati. Wheat dough balls are cooked (mostly baked) until they turn crispy and are then soaked in ghee. Typically, bafla (wheat balls) are eaten in combination with dal and coriander chutney. The local way to eat it is to crush the bafla and pour the dal over it. It’s a great meal option with the right mix of carbs, fats, proteins, and vitamins. It is one of the healthiest food in Madhya Pradesh.

3. Gosht korma

This Nawabi recipe will tickle the taste buds of every non-vegetarian. Hailing from Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh, gosht korma involves chunks of slow-cooked mutton simmering in a rich, peppery gravy.

4. Malpua

An Indian pancake that is deep-fried in ghee and then immersed in sugar syrup for that added sweetness. It’s sinfully delicious, all the same.

5. Seekh kebabs 

You can see a lot of influences from Mughlai cuisine in the state, including the famous seekh kebab. Succulent minced meat is pressed onto a skewer and cooked over coal until charred to perfection. It’s a popular dish throughout the country. Similar to seekh kebabs, shammi kebabs and kheema are other must-try food in Madhya Pradesh.

6. Jalebi

Needing no introduction, jalebi is a dish enjoyed by anyone who has a sweet tooth, irrespective of age. Shaped like a coil, it’s deep-fried and doused in sugar syrup.

7. Biryani

A popular delicacy in the state, Biryani needs no introduction. The difference with the biryani here is that comes with zarda. Zarda is a sweet accompaniment in which rice is rolled in sugar, milk and food colouring and seasoned with almonds, pistachios, cardamom, saffron and raisins, adding to the flavour of the overall dish.
