As per Wikipedia, the word "Thali" refers to a round platter that is used to serve a variety of foods. It is an Indian style full course meal served on a metal plate. Each and every state and region has its own way of serving food on the thali. Usually, the thali comprises six flavors which include sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent, and spicy on a single plate. As per our Indian food custom and Ayurveda, a proper and balanced meal should be a perfect balance of all these six flavors.

How to prepare Karnataka thali recipes with a detailed step by step procedure?


1. To start with, keep the pressure cooker with little water on a medium flame. Let the cooker heats up and water comes to a boil. This takes around 5 mins. Meanwhile, wash and rinse rice, potato, and dal separately and place it in a separate container. In a dal container, add 1 chopped tomato, a pinch of turmeric, 1 green chili, 1-inch ginger, a tsp of coconut oil. Place the container in the cooker and close it with a lid and let it cook for 15 to 20 mins.

2. In the meantime, let us make the kosambari salad which requires onion, tomato, cucumber, etc. For spice, you can sprinkle some pepper or red chili powder. This recipe takes only a few mins.

3. Once the pressure is released, open the pressure cooker and take out the dal container. Mash the dal using a wooden mathu/churner. Transfer the dal into a saucepan or Kadai. Add required salt and water and let it boil on a medium flame. The boiling takes 10 mins.

4. Let's prepare aloo palak curry, place a pan over a medium flame. Temper cumin seeds in oil then add chopped spinach leaves. Add required salt and spices. Once the spinach shrinks add the boiled potatoes. Saute for few minutes and switch off the flame.

5. Finally, temper the dal with mustard and cumin seeds, curry leaves, etc. Then garnish with cilantro and cover it with a lid.

6. Now it's time to serve all the dishes on a thali plate. Serve salad, rice, curry, dal rasam, and curd/buttermilk. You can also have it with papad, pickle, sweets, etc.
