The lifestyle in Uttarakhand is heterogeneous and one can mark the difference between the urban and rural life in the state. Since Uttarakhand comprises both hilly and plain terrains that eventually demarcate the lifestyle in the state, and then there are areas in the hill that are remote and difficult to access, where obviously the way of life is entirely different. The urban areas like Dehradun, Nainital, Haldwani, Haridwar, and a few others enjoy access to most of the modern facilities like top-notch schools, hotels, shopping areas, and restaurants with better job offers and economic status.
Kumauni cuisine is the food of the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India. Kumaoni food is very simple but very nutritious. It completely suits the hard environment of the Himalayas. Pulses like Gehet (Kulath, a local type of bean) are fashioned into different preparations like Ras-Bhaat, Chains, Faanda, and Thatwaani. All are unique preparations from the same pulse. Jholi or curry seasoned with curd. Chudkani and Joula made from Bhatt pulses. Cereals like Mandua with rice and wheat are popular.
Meat is also prepared but the recipe is quite similar to the way it is prepared in most of North India.
