There is scarcity of water and fresh green vegetables in Rajasthan due to its hot and arid climate. This, in turn, has influenced the cuisine of this land. Chefs in the desert belt of Bikaner, Badmer, and Jaisalmer prefer to use clarified butter (ghee), milk and buttermilk, with the least possible amount of water. This Panchkuta recipe primarily consists of 5 ingredients – Ker, Sangri, Kachri, Gonda and Kumate which gives it the name Panchkutta. Since all of these are dry ingredients on account of the weather in Rajasthan, this is a common dish in the Rajasthani cuisine. What adds to its popularity is that the dish can be stored for a few days and doesn't spoil. It is a popular food for travellers. It pairs well with bajra roti, bejad roti or even chapatti.
