Cuisine of Odisha
The cuisine of Odisha is the cuisine of the Indian state of Odisha. Compared to other regional Indian cuisines, Odia cuisine uses less oil and is less spicy, while nonetheless remaining flavorful. Rice is the staple food of this region. Mustard oil is used in some dishes as the cooking medium, but ghee (made of cow's milk) is preferred in temples. Odia foods are traditionally served either on brass or bronze metal plates, banana leaves, or disposable plates made of sal leaves.
Odia cooks, particularly from the Puri region, were much sought after due to their ability to cook food in accordance with the Hindu scriptures.
Yoghurt is used in many Odia dishes. Many sweets of the region are based on chhena (cheese).
Rice is a major crop of Odisha along with wheat. Lentils such as pigeon peas and moong beans are other major ingredients.
Indigenous vegetables used in Odia cuisine are pumpkin, gourd, plantains, jackfruit, and papaya. Vegetables such as potatoes, cauliflowers, and cabbages are also used alongside local vegetables.
Pancha phutana is a blend of five spices that is widely used in Odia cuisine. It contains mustard, cumin, fenugreek, aniseed and kalonji (onion seeds). Garlic, onion, ginger,turmeric and jaggery are other commonly used ingredients in most of the dishes.
The food in the region around Puri and Cuttack is greatly influenced by the Jagannath Temple. On the other hand, kalonji and mustard paste are used mostly in every part of the state. In the regions closer to Andhra Pradesh, like Brahmapur, due to the influence of South Indian cuisine, curry leaves and tamarind are used more.
Temples in the region make offerings to the presiding deities. The prasada of the Jagannath Temple is specifically called Mahaprasad meaning greatest of all prasadas. It consists of 60 recipes/dishes, so it is called Sathie Pauti.
