Tastefully arranged, multi coloured, on a steel plate with alloted places for each dish and rice or roti (Indian bread) in the middle…that is what the Indian calls a thali.Sometimes the thali is served on a banana leaf.Each slot is filled with a different sort of spiced vegetarian food.A dish with curds is a must in any thali.You can have a North Indian or a South Indian Thali. In the coastal areas you can have a thali with fish curry also included or if you so prefer a chicken curry. But most of the dishes are essentially vegetarian.Most Indians eat with their hands. Every Indian washes his hands before and after every meal.
In many Indian restaurants a soup or a juice is served before the meal. So also pappads are served along with a salad of onions and tomatoes and cucumber is served with the starter.Pappads also have two different flavours.It varies if you order a south Indian or North Indian Thali.A must after any thali is a Paan. Paan is nothing but beetel leaf smeared with a little bit of lime and wrapped around a combination of spices like betel-nuts, cardamom, aniseed, sugar and grated coconut. It is a digestive and helps the aids the human body to assimilate the Thali well.
