A regular Bihari meal consists of daal, bhaat (rice), roti, tarkari (vegetables) etc.

Bihari cuisine is predominantly vegetarian because traditional Bihar society, influenced by Buddhist and Hindu values of non-violence, did not eat eggs, chicken, fish and other animal products.

However, there is also a tradition of meat-eating, and fish dishes are especially common due to the number of rivers and ponds in Tarwara.
