1. Himachali Siddu & Ghee

This is one of my personal favoirite dishes. This dish is famous in upper Himachal region specifically in Shimla region. Siddu & Ghee (Clarified Butter) dish  

This popular Himachali Dish is mostly prepared in winters. It is very helpful to keep our body warm in winters stuffed with sesame seed and most of the people in upper shimla region use marijuana seeds stuffing as well to get themselves warm in winters.
