Cuisines and food of the
Indian state of
Haryana is known to be simple. People of the state prefer their food to be made with fresh ingredients and through simple recipes. Roti (
a form of chapati) is a staple food in
Haryana which is made from a variety of
grains and
flours (
Wheat,
gram flour,
barley etc.). Since Haryana is rich with
agriculture and
cattle, the use of
dairy products is abundant in their food. Many households churn out fresh
butter from
milk and use it as opposed to the butter available in the markets.
Lassi (also popular in Punjab) is a popular and staple drink in Haryana.
