“No visit to Jodhpur can be considered complete without sampling a Makhania Lassi and some Marwari Kulfi,” said Mahindra Homestays fan Scott Lyn on our Facebook page recently. Which gave us an idea.

Petha in Agra? Mishti Doi in Kolkata?

We’re setting a challenge.

We want to collect all of your India food + India city recommendations to form a definitive culinary guide to India’s best regional treats.

So please use the comment space below to add your suggestions and help us build the list. We’ll add them to this post and see how far we can develop this in a collaborative ‘wiki’ style.

For many of our guests, food is a favourite part of the homestay experience. The treat of a home-cooked, locally-sourced meal served in a real Indian home makes the Mahindra Homestays offer unique. Nothing beats a host-cooked regional specialty, and many of our guests even get involved in the kitchen, cooking under the guidance of their experienced host.

If you’re staying in a homestay, ask your host to make you the regional dish.
