RAS question

Mirchi Vada is a famous snack from:

Correct answer: (C) Jodhpur.

Mirchi Vada is a famous Jodhpur snack, made as a fried gram-flour-coated chilli stuffed with potato.

  1. (A)

    Jaipur

  2. (B)

    Bikaner

  3. (C)

    Jodhpur

  4. (D)

    Udaipur

Explanation

Mirchi Vada belongs with Jodhpur because it is tied to Jodhpur's food culture. It is Jodhpur's signature street food: a chilli fritter stuffed with potato, often eaten with Jodhpuri samosa. Incredible India's Jodhpur gastronomy page gives the same city context and describes Mirchi Vada as a spicy snack that is a staple at Jodhpur get-togethers, especially in winter. The food logic is clear: a chilli is filled with a flavourful stuffing, dipped in gram-flour batter, and fried until crisp. That city-specific association is why option C, Jodhpur, is the answer.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Jaipur is not the city associated with Mirchi Vada; Incredible India's Jodhpur gastronomy page identifies the snack with Jodhpur.
  • (B) Bikaner is a Rajasthan food centre, but Mirchi Vada is linked to Jodhpur, not Bikaner.
  • (D) Udaipur is not the city associated with Mirchi Vada in Incredible India's Jodhpur context, so it does not fit the snack's regional identity.

Concept

Rajasthan's regional food specialities fall under Art and Culture. RAS asks about named foods because they often function as quick markers of a district's cultural identity.
