Description:
Relation to Rajasthani Food Culture
Kumth is a perfect example of how Rajasthani cuisine is deeply tied to the land and climate. Found in the Thar desert, it is collected, dried, and stored for use year-round.
Cultural highlights:
Used in Ker-Sangri mix – a famous Rajasthani dish made from dried wild berries and beans.
Preservation legacy: Dried to last in arid conditions with minimal spoilage.
Traditionally cooked with curd or spices – to soften and enhance flavor.
Sustainable foraging: Kumth is gathered seasonally, making it an eco-friendly wild food.
