Local Guides, get your cameras ready! To celebrate the colourful world of thalis, the culinary and cultural heritage and identity of India we are launching a new challenge, and it is to share our love for thalis.
Did you know that the word “thali” is derived from the Hindi word “thālī,” which means plate or tray. In Indian cuisine, a thali refers to a platter, typically round, on which a variety of dishes are served, creating a balanced meal. It typically includes a variety of dishes that provide a good mix of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, reflecting the principles of a balanced diet. The combination of grains, lentils, vegetables, dairy, and spices in a thali contributes to its nutritional value and health benefits. The concept of six tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent) is central to Ayurveda, and many Indian thalis aim to incorporate all these tastes for a more holistic and nourishing meal.
