Chhattisgarh Rajyotsava, also known as Chhattisgarh Statehood Day, is the annual statehood day of the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. It is celebrated on November 1 every year to commemorate the formation of the state of Chhattisgarh. As you celebrate Chhattisgarh Rajyotsav 2023, we at LatestLY have compiled a collection of three Chhattisgarhi dishes to try on this special occasion.

Chhattisgarh Rajyotsava is a significant event in the state and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and pride. The celebrations typically include cultural programs, parades, exhibitions, and various events that showcase the state's rich cultural heritage and traditions. Chhattisgarh has a rich culinary heritage, and celebrating Chhattisgarh Rajyotsav with some traditional dishes from the state is a great way to immerse yourself in its culture.

Chana Samosa: Chana samosa is a popular street food in Chhattisgarh. It consists of crispy, deep-fried samosas filled with a spicy and tangy chickpea curry. The combination of the crunchy outer layer and the flavourful chana (chickpea) filling is both delicious and satisfying.
