7-day Rajasthani
diet plan
Built on bajra and missi roti, panchmel dal, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, kadhi, baati and churma — the food actually cooked in Rajasthan, not a north Indian week with the names changed.

Coverage: Most of this cuisine's everyday dishes are covered, but several signature items had to be estimated for this site — they are marked below.
What a Rajasthani week looks like
Rajasthani cooking was built around water scarcity, so it leans on dried beans, besan and curd instead of fresh vegetables — which is why gatte ki sabzi and ker sangri exist at all. Protein is easier here than most people expect. Ghee is the honest problem: the traditional dish is baati soaked in it.
Staples this plan runs on: Bajra and missi roti, panchmel dal, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, kadhi, baati and churma. Where: Rajasthan.
Estimated dishes used here: Baati, Gatte Ki Sabzi, Ker Sangri. These are not in the ThaliFacts dataset; each was built by recipe analysis and each carries its basis on the method page. They are marked தோராயம் everywhere they appear.
How a Rajasthan week is put on the chart
- The meal library for this region is restricted to Rajasthan's own dishes: bajra and missi roti, panchmel dal, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, kadhi, baati and churma. Nothing outside that list can appear.
- Regional weeks are portioned to one reference band, 1,550–2,300 kcal, because the question here is what the region eats — not what a goal requires.
- Each serving carries a stated weight; a meal is the sum of its servings, a day the sum of its five meals, the week the sum of its seven days.
- Dishes missing from the underlying dataset were estimated for this site by recipe analysis and are marked தோராயம் wherever they appear, never quietly substituted.
- The plate chart re-reads the same servings by group, so the region's shape — rice-forward, coconut-forward, dal-forward — is visible before any number is read.
serving = per-100 g value x serving weight (g) / 100 day = SUM of 5 meals week = SUM of 7 days per day = week / 7 katori = served grams / 150 g plate % = group served grams / day served grams

Adjusting it
At 1,657 kcal a day this week sits well below a typical adult maintenance intake — a mild deficit for many adults, and genuinely light for anyone active. To move it in either direction, the lever in Rajasthan is the same as everywhere else and it is not the cuisine: it is the grain. One katori of rice instead of two, or two rotis instead of three, moves a day by two to three hundred calories on its own and leaves everything you actually taste untouched.
To push protein up without changing the character of the food, add a second katori of the dal or legume that is already on the plate. That is cheaper than any other option and it is already in your kitchen.
The same chart, another kitchen
Twelve other regional weeks, each portioned from its own staples.
The questions that come after the chart
What does a normal Rajasthani day of food add up to?
On this plan, 1,657 kcal and 58.6 g of protein a day on average, across five eating occasions. Individual days run from 1,550 to 1,818 kcal. A festival day or a restaurant meal sits well above this.
Is this a real Rajasthani plan or a north Indian plan renamed?
It is built from Rajasthan's own dishes: bajra and missi roti, panchmel dal, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, kadhi, baati and churma. Where a signature dish is not in the underlying nutrition dataset it has been estimated specifically for this site and marked, rather than swapped for a north Indian dish with a regional name attached.
Where does Rajasthani food usually go wrong nutritionally?
Rajasthani cooking was built around water scarcity, so it leans on dried beans, besan and curd instead of fresh vegetables — which is why gatte ki sabzi and ker sangri exist at all. Protein is easier here than most people expect. Ghee is the honest problem: the traditional dish is baati soaked in it.
Can I use this to lose weight?
At 1,657 kcal a day this week sits well below a typical adult maintenance intake — a mild deficit for many adults, and genuinely light for anyone active — it was written to show what the region eats, not to create a deficit. If you want a deficit built on similar food, the goal-based plans are the place to start. The honest answer is that the regional pattern matters far less than the serving count: two katoris of rice instead of one moves the number more than the cuisine does.
Calories and macros are computed from the ThaliFacts dataset, which is based on the இந்திய உணவுப் பொருள் கூறு அட்டவணைகள் 2017 (ICMR–NIN), plus the regional dishes estimated for this site and marked தோராயம் wherever they appear. Energy reconciles against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build. Every source, with the date it was last checked, is listed on the sources page. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice.
