Method

  1. 1

    The Gujarati thali is assembled rather than cooked as one preparation.

  2. 2

    Each component is prepared separately and plated together:

  3. 3

    A round steel thali is placed with small katoris (bowls) arranged around it.

  4. 4

    The centre of the thali has rice (bhat) and several small portions of different shaaks (vegetable preparations).

  5. 5

    Katoris contain dal, kadhi and chaas.

  6. 6

    A small portion of mithai is placed on the thali.

  7. 7

    Farsan (fried snack) is placed on the side.

  8. 8

    Papad, pickle and chundo complete the arrangement.

  9. 9

    Round thin rotlis are placed folded on the thali.

  10. 10

    All courses are served simultaneously — the Gujarati thali tradition is to eat all elements together in different combinations at each bite.
