Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh (S01E05)

Rick Stein journeys to the regal state of Rajasthan, renowned for its royal heritage and meat-centric cuisine. Here, he discovers dishes like Junglee Maas, a flavorful mix of meat, spices, and chilies, favored by the Rajputs and Moghuls during game hunts. Transitioning to the contrasting landscape of Himachal Pradesh, he explores the mountainous region known for its divine connection and a diet rich in wild herbs, rice, and dried pulses. During his visit, Rick participates in a local noble gathering and has an audience with the Dalai Lama, preparing a sumptuous Biryani for a Rajput feast alongside traditional Rajma from Himachal.
