Braj Cuisine

Braj Cuisine (Hindi: ब्रजवासी पाक-शैली) is a style of traditional cooking originating from Braj region^[1] of Northern India, particularly states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh.^[2] This sacred land, revered as the childhood home of Lord Krishna, has given rise to a unique gastronomic culture that embodies the principles of Satvik food.^[3] Characterized by an abundance of fresh dairy products,^[4] such as milk, cream, butter, ghee, mawa, yogurt, buttermilk and chhena, Braj cuisine is a testament to the region's devotion to Lord Krishna, the divine cowherd.^[3]
