Kumauni cuisine is the food of theKumaon region ofUttarakhand,India. Kumaoni food is simple and nutritious, suited to the harsh environment of theHimalayas. Pulses likegouhat (orkulath, a local type of bean) are fashioned into different preparations like, Kumaoni raitaa,Bal Mithai,[6] ras bhaat, chain, faanda and thatwaani. All are unique preparations from the same pulse. Jholi or curry seasoned with curd. Chudkani and Joula made from bhatt pulses. Cereals likemadua with rice and wheat are popular.
Meat is also prepared but the recipe is quite similar to the way it is prepared in most of North India, only the gravy is thinner.[7]Several snack items, breads, dairy products and beverages form the heart of the Kumaoni cuisine which is traditionally eaten in several parts in Uttarakhand.[8]
