This dish harks back to the olden days when Rajasthani royals set out for their annual months-long shikar. The hunting entourage would typically carry a few, practical ingredients like ghee, salt and dried chillies, which would be used to cook the game of the day in the jungle. That’s how this dish got its name – Junglee Maas.
