One of the most peculiar aspects of Indian cuisine is Thali. The idea of Thali originates from the cultural history of India, which symbolises togetherness in the communities. Thali comprises several items in a single tray, which makes it a proportional and satisfying meal.

The traditional Thali has a perfect combination of dishes, and each dish is carefully selected to make it flavourful and healthy. Some dishes that you will commonly find in the Thali are:- 

1. The Indian restaurant in Sydney adds rice or roti as a part of grains in the traditional Thali, which is a major source of carbohydrates.
2. The protein sources that are common in this dish are lentils, also called dal, chana, paneer, and meat or seafood items for the non-vegetarian thalis.
3. Other dishes like cooked or seasoned vegetables are added to the thali to give a variation of colour, nutrition, and spice. Examples of these dishes are aloo sabzi, saag or bhindi.
4. We add yoghurt or raita to the Thali because it provides our Thali with a cooling and creamy extent, which balances the overall spiciness of the Thali.
5. The most demanded element in the Thali is the Indian pickles or chutneys, which give an extra flavour and tanginess to the dish.
6. It is essential to add a sweet taste to the Thali, which is why we have added special and authentic Indian sweets like gulab jamun, jalebi or kheer.
7. Other Indian foods like papad or any crispy snacks are added, along with a famous Indian beverage like lassi are added to complete the Thali.
