1. South Indian Thali

3. Kathiawadi Thali

This plate can be a bit intimidating. Mostly because the names of these sumptuous Gujrati dishes are so hard to  pronounce. Most of the dishes have a sweet taste to them, even the ones which are supposed to be savory or spicy! Signature dishes include raasawala dhokla, bajra bhakri, methi thepla, kathiawadi akha adad, Gujarati dal, chaas and gol papdi. Phew! Quite a mouthful, no?

4. Bhojpuri Thali
The Bhojpuri thali can surprise you with its multitude of flavours. The crispy bharbhara,
the usual dahi chura for breakfast, golden brown sattu ka paratha, ghugni, the kala channa curry, besan ki sabji/  besan ki machhli and the sweet raw mango curries will take you on a culinary journey like no other.

5. Maharashtrian Thali

Maharashtrian cuisine is characterized by mildly spicy food. It usually features a few non-veg items and the dishes actually vary in different parts of Maharashtra. With sweets like aamras and sheera, the thali is certinaly not lacking when it comes to desserts.  Maharashtrian thali automatically goes up by a level. Then you have your sabudaana vada,  a refreshing glass of mattha, kanda poha, danyachi usal and the awesome pav bhaji, which rounds up this spectacular all-in-one meal.
