A Thali meal

Bangalore - After hours of discussion and presentation. Jobi brought us to a Thaili restaurant. In Hindi, 'Thali' means 'plate'. A thali is a selection of different dishes, usually served in small bowls on a round tray. The round tray is generally made with steel with multiple indentations on the plate itself or with a number of small metal bowls known as Katoris on it. Mostly the plate is a big Banana leaf.
A thali consists of a variety of vegetable curry dishes, relishes, a couple of papadams, puris or chapattis and a whole lot of rice. A deluxe variety would include a Pata, a rolled betel leaf stuffed with fruit and nuts. It may also include curd and one or two Desserts. The main plus points of thalis are they are cheap and 100% filling.
