Flavours of Rajasthan FOOD TRAILS

Journeys fusing our love for road trips and food continue as the Food Trails series takes Dhruv Saxena to Jaipur with the Hyundai i20 N Line for authentic Rajasthani food and more

- Dhruv Saxena

The depth of India's diversity is all-encompassing with every region showcasing its own unique identity in terms of people, language, landscape, art, culture and, of course, food. The combination of our love for food and road trips has us journeying to different parts of the country to sample not just local cuisine, but popular outlets as well that should be on every foodie's to-do list. For the first part of the Food Trails series, we drove east from Delhi in the Hyundai Alcazar to Lucknow to dig into some lip-smacking Awadhi cuisine and for the second part, we headed in the opposite direction into Rajasthan with the exciting Hyundai i20 N Line in search of good food.

The roughly 260km stretch connecting New Delhi with Jaipur is one we're all too familiar with and is generally quite a busy highway with heavy commercial vehicle traffic. As much as we love road trips, this one, in particular, wouldn't ordinarily be classified as exciting, but the i20 N Line helped keep the thrill alive with its precise steering, powerful turbocharged petrol motor and the slick-shifting DCT.
