context_page_description: Bhojpuri cuisine is a part of North Indian cuisine and a style of food preparation common amongst the Bhojpuri people of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Bhojpuri foods are mostly mild and are less hot in term of spices used, but could be hotter and spicier according to individual preference. The food is tailor-made for Bhojpuri lifestyle in which the rural folk burn up a lot of calories in the fields. Bhojpuri people take pride in celebrating various festivals and religious rites with food; as a result, their food resembles the delicacies offered to deities.
  Bhojpuri people enjoy eating both vegetable and meat dishes. The cuisine is heavily influenced by its neighbouring Awadhi and Mughlai cuisine.
