Thali Meal

No journey is ever complete until you have sat down for a hearty, traditional meal and when you’re in India, there’s no better way to absorb her vivacity than to get down to gorging on some authentic, elaborate Thalis.  When travelling in most regions of India, you’ll find local restaurants serving thali a platter offering the choicest dishes specific to that region.  But thali is much more than just a part of the country’s dining out culture. While not representative of how all people eat in India, it’s an integral part of festivals, celebrations, and everyday eating.

The Thali is a lavish and elaborate spread of more than 10 food items, on a round plate or a plantain leaf, with small portions of a variety of dishes. The number can range from 10 dishes to 52 dishes. For a foodie, it’s a must-try experience.
