Lifestyle Desk, New Delhi. 'Madhya Pradesh', which is called the heart of India, is not only famous for its historical buildings and natural beauty, but the food here is also very excellent. If you are on a trip to Madhya Pradesh, you will find a confluence of aromatic spices and traditional flavors in every street here.

Therefore, if you visit Madhya Pradesh, then you must try these 9 vegetarian dishes. You will not find such wonderful taste of food anywhere else.

The morning of Madhya Pradesh, especially Indore, is incomplete without 'Poha'. The poha here is different from other parts of the country. It is steamed and topped with Jeeravan masala, finely chopped onion, pomegranate seeds and 'Indouri Sev'. This is a light and energy giving breakfast.

It is not possible that the name of Poha comes up and there is no mention of Jalebi. Crisp, juicy jalebis when served with thick and creamy rabri, give a unique taste experience. This combination is most famous in Malwa region.

Kachori of Madhya Pradesh is known for its spiciness and special filling. Be it lentil or pea kachori, it is often served hot with spicy and sweet chutney. The taste of Kachori available at the railway stations of Jabalpur and Bhopal is something else.

This dish made from taro leaves is a unique mixture of taste and health. Gram flour paste is applied on the leaves, they are rolled, steamed and then mustard and sesame seasoning is applied. It gives sour-sweet and slightly spicy taste.

Indore's famous 'Bhutte Ki Kees' is a unique dish made from corn. In this, fresh corn is grated and cooked with milk, spices and coconut. It is slightly creamy and spicy in taste, often enjoyed during monsoons.

Despite being similar to the Dal Baati of Rajasthan, 'Dal Bafla' has its own identity. Baffle flour balls are first boiled in water and then baked in ghee. It is served with arhar dal, desi ghee and 'garlic chutney'.

Chana Bhature has its own style in many cities of Madhya Pradesh. The chickpeas here are rich in spices and the bhature are puffy and soft. It is often eaten with great relish as breakfast or lunch.

Madhya Pradesh, especially Dahi Bada of Sarafa Bazaar of Indore is famous all over the world. Here Bada is soaked in curd and special spices are sprinkled on it like this. The curd here is very soft and spicy.

If you are fond of sweets, then Mawa Baati will make you feel like heaven. It looks like a big Gulab Jamun, but inside it is filled with dry fruits and mawa. It is served dipped in sugar syrup and is the heart of any royal feast.
