Does the term ‘Guava Curry’ sounds a bit uncanny? Everyone has ate guava as fruit, But have you eaten it as a curry ever? Guava Curry is a highly distinctive Rajasthani dish cooked with ripe guava. With Indian breads or steaming rice, this curry's sweet, spicy, and sour flavours blends lip smacking good. Moreover it is very nutritious as well. Making this meal is simple and unique, especially now that guavas are in season and reasonably priced. Use firm, ripe guavas. Onions are often not included to this curry since they interfere with the flavour of the fruit. The state of Rajasthan is renowned for its illustrious royal past and culture. Due to the area's aridity, harsh climate conditions, lack of water, and greenery, the locals have developed distinctive cooking methods and eating habits that set them apart from other Indian cuisines. Many of the Rajasthani people's dishes can be stored for a few days and served cold since they have adapted their culinary methods in this way. There are many delicious and excellent Rajasthani foods, ranging from main courses to appetisers to sweet dishes, thanks to the region's regal legacy and the gourmet fervour of the population. Guava curry is one of such dish.
