Rahul Raj: Pahadi Khana Restraunt: Haldwani:- Mountain food, or Pahadi food, isn’t just tasty—it’s also packed with nutrients. No matter where they go, people from the hills always remember their mountain roots, culture, and flavors.
It’s amazing to see how dedicated the young people from the mountains are to preserving and promoting their heritage. Even though many have moved from villages to cities, they haven’t forgotten their mountain lifestyle. In fact, even city dwellers are starting to adopt these hill traditions.
Uttarakhand has always attracted tourists, and now its youth are working hard to boost tourism even more. These efforts are benefiting both visitors and the local communities. Many young people in Haldwani, for example, are leading the charge.
Recently, several new restaurants have opened in Haldwani to promote Pahadi cuisine. One of them is Pahadi Khana, located in Mukhani, Haldwani. Here, you can enjoy mountain dishes like ‘Bhatt ke Dubke,’ ‘Bhang ki Chutney,’ and ‘Maduve ki Roti.’
Rahul Raj, who founded Pahadi Khana, mentions that locals and visitors alike are eager to taste Pahadi flavors, partly because they’re so healthy. He noted that these dishes are also becoming popular in other cities.
Rahul encourages the youth to continue promoting mountain cuisine within Uttarakhand. The people of Uttarakhand are making significant strides in sharing their food culture. The young generation of Devbhoomi is not only finding ways to become self-reliant but also doing a fantastic job of preserving and promoting their heritage.
