Pahadi food has different flavours which you will definetly love. Here are some Pahadi food : 

Aloo k Ghutke : It is the  most popular dish in Uttrakhand. Every house of Uttrakhand has a unique way of making it , though they has unique way but mind it,is amazing. This dish has made a special place in the heart of all the Pahadi's, who love devouring it with pooris , bhang ki chutney and kumaoni raita. 

Kumoni raita : Though it is simple but it is yum. and it is very easy to make , all you have to do is just take some curd ,grate a cucumber, add some fresh chillies and mustard seed to it , sprinkle some turmeric ,salt and red chilli powder and lastly garnish it with a coriander leaves.

Bhang Ki chutney : One of my favourite is this “ Bhang ki chutney” . It makes of mouth water with its tangy taramind taste. When served with traditional Pahadi cuisines it enhances their taste. 

Urad Dal K Pakode : Whether there is festival, wedding or any other important function, these pakoras are made every single time. This spongy and soft pakora is one of the best thing you will have in uttrakhand . They are served hot with chutney. 

Dubke or Dubuk : This is also one of the best dishes of Uttrakhand . It can makes people fan by its amazing taste. Well it is said that the suitable time to eat  dubuk is winters  but who can stop you eating this delicious dish through out the year.
