Thali

A Thali is a traditional Indian meal served on a round metal platter, called a thali, that holds a variety of dishes. It typically includes rice or bread like chapati, along with multiple side dishes such as lentils, vegetables, and chutneys. The idea is to offer a balanced combination of flavors and nutrients in one meal. Thali meals are often accompanied by sauces, yogurt, or sweets, providing a diverse and satisfying dining experience. It’s a practical and cultural way to enjoy a meal with a variety of tastes and textures in a single serving.
