THE BIG INDIAN THALI

When stories meet flavour on a platter…

There’s nothing that quite conveys an explosion of flavours like an Indian thali. The sit-down meal offers a distinct taste of everything — right from the appetisers to the main course, accompanying drinks and sweetmeats. The thali, it is said, takes a person on a ‘cultural exploration’ and showcases cooking techniques, spices of a place, and more. It also beautifully encompasses the geography of a place…. my inputs on The Punjabi Thali are featured in #THETIMESOFINDIA #BOMBAYTIMES on 6th November 2020.
