Time for Thali @ FoodieMondayBlogHop Foodie Monday Bloghop is a Facebook gourmet group, where a bunch of like-minded enthusiastic bloggers share their culinary creations each week depending upon a pre-determined theme. Time for Thali is the theme for the 263rd week on this group. Sasmita who blogs at the Firsttimercook, proposed that we share any regional thali or daily Indian meal that has at least 4 dishes served on it. Since, i already had thalis of most of the Indian states, this time i decided to post an elaborate North Indian style meal for the theme. Meanwhile, do check out Sasmita's space for authentic Odia recipes and many vegan and gluten-free recipes from around the globe.

Dishes served in my North Indian Thali: The North Indian thali that i have prepared today is an elaborate vegetarian meal comprising of all the elements of a typical Indian thali, rice Jeera rice), flat bread (lachha paratha), lentil (Dal fry), curry (Paneer Makhani and Chana masala), raita (boondi raita), sweet dish (kesar Phirni), papad and salad. It took me flat 2 hours to make this entire platter single-handedly from scratch and yes, with no domestic help too (all thanks to the current Covid pandemic), which means a sink full of utensils. But believe me if you plan wisely, making such elaborate meals is not a big deal at all. We Indian are expert in treating our guests with such feast often. This platter has total 7 dishes excluding salad and papad which is a nutrient rich healthy balanced diet. Best part about this North Indian platter is that i did not had to go out shopping for fresh veggies ( a daunting task during lockdown) as all the dishes are made using basic pantry ingredients that are almost always present in any Indian Kitchen. I have used homemade paneer to make paneer makhani which I made on the previous day. The curd used for raita is also homemade. Making chana masala needs preplanning as chickpeas need to be soaked overnight. I began with boiling the chickpeas in pressure cooker and soaked the rice for phirni. Meanwhile I boiled the milk and allowed it cool down. All the chopping work was done when both my gas burners were engaged. That saved lot of time.
