Bihari cuisine (Hindi: बिहारी खाना, Urdu: بِہاری کھانا) is eaten mainly in Bihar, Jharkhand, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mauritius, South Africa, Fiji, some cities of Pakistan, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, Jamaica, and the Caribbean, as these are the places where people originating from the state of Bihar are present. Bihari cuisine includes Bhojpuri cuisine,[1] Maithil cuisine and Magahi cuisine. There is also a tradition of meat-eating, and fish dishes are especially common in the Mithila region of North Bihar due to the number of rivers, such as the Sone, Gandak and Ganges and Koshi. There are also numerous Bihari meat dishes, with chicken and mutton being the most common.
Dairy products are consumed frequently throughout the year, with common foods including yogurt known as dahi and also buttermilk known as mattha, ghee, lassi and butter.
