KUMAONI  FOOD It is believed that the people of Kumaon, which is known as  Dev Bhoomi,  are the descendants of Indo-Aryans and Indo-Iranians and have thus inherited a mixed food culture completely based on the use of seasonal ingredients. The food consumed in the mountains is exclusive in terms of preparations and their ingredients – simple but undeniably delicious. The food here is incomplete without dal, chutney and a sweet dish. In the kitchens of Kumaon, a wide range of pulses is used to create mouth-watering recipes, which are usually enjoyed with rice. The pulses, beverages, and fruits here are quite different from other parts of India. Some typical Kumaoni fruits are  hisoi ,  kaafal (bayberry),  kilmudi, mekauti (malta)  and  narangi  (orange), while the juices preferred are  burash  (rhododendron) juice, rose juice and  malta  juice.
