You can never separate foodies from food. In fact, you can’t separate food from our lives. And why should you even when the best thing about life is food? So what’s your favorite kind of food? We love vegetarian thali the best. There’s something beautiful and soul-satisfying about eating roti, sabzi, daal, and dahi with a delicious dessert in a thali.
The curries and daals are served in cute little katoris (cups) and the rotis sit royally in the center of the shiny thali. Yumm! You are imagining it, aren’t you?
To get the best experience of eating a veg thali, you need to know where to visit. Isn’t that the biggest issue? Not all restaurants and hotels serve delicious veg thalis, and choosing a not-so-good place can ruin the experience for us.
