Odisha - Odia Cuisine

Cuisine of Odisha is also known as the Odia Cuisine, is a combination and mixture of varied items inherited from many states and ages ago. As Odisha is bordered by both North Indian and South Indian states, food of Odisha is majorly influenced by the food of North India, Bengal and Assam. Rice is the staple food of Odisha with mustard oil used as a cooking medium in many households.

Our restaurant features variety of food that would make you feel the authentic Odia delicacy. Here are today's special picks that you could try -

1. Chungdi Malai

Well, as the name suggests, this dish is all about the delicious creamy prawn curry, where the creamy part comes from the coconut milk. The richness and silkiness of this fantastic dish are further enriched by light and mild spices that add a unique character to it. Absolutely delightful, mouth-watering and flavoursome! Best served with steamed basmati rice, this delicacy is a must try if you are in and around Odisha.

2. Dalma

Aah Dalma! You just can't get enough of dal, can you? However, this staple food comes with a unique twist when in Odisha. It is made with roasted moong dal without any onion or garlic. A few regular spices along with a cup of veggies are added to it to give it a lip-smacking flavour. Common veggies include pumpkin, plantain, yam and papaya, which work like magic on your overall health. Mostly eaten with rice, this finger-licking meal will more than satiate your appetite.

3. Kanika

A traditionally prepared dish of Orissa made of sweet pulao finds a place of pride in the list of 56 items in Lord Jagannath's 'Chappan Bhog.' Kanika was the favourite Odiya dish before biriyani, and fried rice took its place. The aromatic basmati rice can be a replacement from the raw rice that's usually prepared to make Kanika.

4. Pilaf

Pilaf (Pulao) is a rice dish in a seasoned broth. When sautéed lightly in oil the rice attains a golden brown colour with the aroma of mixed spices. Depending on specific cultures, the dish is prepared as a variety which includes meat, vegetables, dry fruits and even pasta. The culinary of pilaf spread over states to countries worldwide. It is a staple dish in Odisha cuisine.
