Panchkuta which literally means five ingredients

Panchkuta which literally means five ingredients 
is made with Ker, sangari, kumat, gunda and mathania mirch 
Exclusive to desert regions of Rajasthan in India

Rajasthan  (literally, "Land of Kings" or "Land of Kingdoms")
Is culturally rich and has artistic and cultural traditions which reflect the ancient Indian way of life.

There is rich and varied folk culture from villages which is often depicted and is symbolic of the state.
Highly cultivated classical music and dance with its own distinct style is part of the cultural tradition of Rajasthan.

The music is uncomplicated and songs depict day-to-day relationships and chores, more often focused around fetching water from wells or ponds.

Rajasthani cooking was influenced by both the war-like lifestyles of its inhabitants and the availability of ingredients in this arid region.

Food that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred.
Scarcity of water and fresh green vegetables have all had their effect on the cooking.
