It has tribal and non-tribal recipes made of rice and rice flour such as Faraa, a kind of desi style momos, Muthiya, angakar roti and chousera roti with a special recipe of Bafauri, made of chana dal. The traditional food has BoreBaasi, Howlai Bhaaji, KochaiPatta, Chech Bhaji, Kohda and Bohar Bhaji with local specialities like Aamat, Chila, Bara, Bhajiya, Sabudana Ki Khichdi, Khurma, Tilgur and Dubki Kadi.
