Regional Specialties & Food Stories by E-Diner
We dig deep into the history and taste of India's iconic dishes. From the smoky Litti Chokha of Bihar to Rajasthani Dal Baati, enjoy a slice of heritage delivered to your doorstep in Noida and Ghaziabad.
Here's a look at how I prepare authentic Litti Chokha, a specialty from Bihar. The process involves roasting the litti over fire and preparing the smoky baingan chokha.
This is the start of my series on the story of Dal Baati Churma. This iconic Rajasthani dish has a fascinating history that I'm excited to share with you.
The story of Dal Baati Churma, part one. The dish has been a part of Rajasthani cuisine since the time of Bappa Rawal, where the Baati was considered a perfect wartime meal.
The story of Dal Baati Churma, part two. It's said that Rajput soldiers would bury dough in the hot sand, which would bake into perfect baatis while they were at war.
The story of Dal Baati Churma, part three. The sweet Churma was invented by accident when a cook poured sugarcane juice into some baatis, making them soft and delicious.
The story of Dal Baati Churma, part four. The combination of Panchmel Dal with Baati became popular later, creating the complete and nutritious meal we love today.
Here is a bowl of Lucknow ki Chaat Aloo Dhaniya. It's a unique and tangy potato chaat made with a fresh coriander and mint paste, a true taste of Lucknow's street food.
Watch how I make the famous Lucknowi Chaat Aloo Dhaniya. The recipe involves creating a flavorful green paste and roasting baby potatoes in ghee with aromatic spices.
A glimpse into the making of Varanasi Tamatar Chaat. This tangy and spicy chaat is a specialty of Banaras, and I make it with fresh tomatoes, desi ghee, and a sprinkle of dhaniya.
Presenting Misal Pav, a top-rated Indian vegan dish from Maharashtra. It's a spicy curry made with sprouts, topped with farsan, and served with soft pav.
About Regional Specialties & Food Stories
Our regional specials are cooked with the same passion we use to share their stories. When you order our Litti Chokha or Dal Baati, you get the authentic rustic taste—we don't take shortcuts like using an oven when the dish demands a charcoal smoke or slow-simmered depth.
At E-Diner, we think food is a story, not just a way to stop hunger. Our kitchen in Indirapuram is a playground where we experiment with regional gems that you won't usually find in standard tiffin services. We're talking about the smoky earthiness of Bihar's Litti Chokha, or the rich, ghee-laden comfort of Rajasthan's Dal Baati Churma.
Why bother with these recipes? Because they bring people together. Whether you are planning a Sunday brunch in Noida or an office lunch in Ghaziabad, these dishes change the vibe from a standard meal to a conversation starter. We follow the traditional methods—roasting the baatis properly, grinding the spices by hand for the chaat, and getting that perfect consistency for the dal.
Need to order for a crowd? Our minimum headcount is 10, which is perfect for house parties, team lunches, or family get-togethers. We handle the setup so you can just focus on the food and the guests. From our 'Dal ki Dulhan' to those tangy bowls of Lucknowi Aloo Chaat, we're serving up nostalgia, one plate at a time. Let us handle the kitchen chaos while you host the perfect gathering.
