Simple Everyday South Indian Thali


After,couple of weeks break,I am starting the blogging with Blogging Marathon 70th edition.For this week I choose the Thali as theme and sharing a simple everyday Tamilnadu style Thali.For this theme I wanted to share some other state Thali.But due to lot of personal work and my laptop issues,finally ended up in making a typical home style food.
Most of the recipes made for this thali were shared already but the beetroot poriyal is a pending post.So sharing the recipe and also used the beet greens and made kootu out of it.Will share the kootu recipe later.
The Thali consists of

White rice
Ennai Kathirikkai Kulambhu
Rasam
Vellarikkai(cucumber) Thayir pachadi/raita
Beet leaves Kootu
Beetroot Poriyal
Paruppu Thogayal
Curd
Arisi Vathal/Vadam aka Ilai Vadam

Coming to the recipe,here I used roasted peanuts in the poriyal to give extra crunch.Instead of peanuts,boiled peas or channa dhal can be used.

  9. That is a yummy everyday thali!! I like the idea of placing a wax/parchment paper on the steel plate and then placing the bowls. I am going to steel your idea next time I make a thali. Otherwise, everything in the thali has a reflection.
