A thali is a selection of small dishes (usually vegetarian or as here, vegan) named after the metal dish it’s served on. Widely available across India, it’s a great way of trying a range of dishes with different flavours and textures, from curries and dhals to salads and chutneys - they’re always served with rice and often breads or poppadoms, too. Thalis in the north of India tend to be heartier and contain more starchy root vegetables, whereas South Indian thalis are often lighter and usually include coconut. For our North Indian thali we’re serving a rich mixed veg curry with a classic saag aloo, tangy tamarind chutney and a tomato salad to freshen everything up. And from South India we’ve got a vibrant tomato curry (called thakkali) served with dhal, a crunchy cabbage salad known as kosambari, and finally a zingy coconut chutney!

Easy to and quick make and tasted great even for a meat eater. Tamarind chutney was more than 3/5 chillies hot though.
