THALI


I have managed to click a lot of my day to day food thalis over the last couple of weeks and I would love to share them with you.


When I read blogs I always like to know more about what people have on their plates for their regular meals , For me regular everyday meals are not something that are rich in taste or something that are good to look at (although both the things are necessary  to make our plate a bit appetizing), But its the love with which a homemaker makes a complete meal for her family taking into account the nutritional value of the food is what is of utmost importance.

I am a homemaker and I cook 3 fresh meals everyday at home, and I know the efforts I put into planning the daily meal so as to balance the nutrition in each meal.So that there are the necessary components in every meal ( I know that its not always possible to have absolutely great and healthy meal when you plan a menu. as things which have a lot of oil are a bit tastier than the ones which are bland) . So I make such a dish probably once a fortnight or sometimes even a month , if I can slyly stretch it that much  shhhhh......




The above thali which you see is made for lunch , I have a wholesome thali for lunch for dinner I plan something that is filling but not in the thali form it can be something like dosa, paratha, or sandwiches. I am planning to share at least 4 thalis of that week with you ( I would not mind clicking pictures everyday but it so happens that many a times something is left for the last minute touch-up and enters my hubby from his work, to eat his hot afternoon meal, which he does not much appreciate waiting for , so in the rush bushhh of getting everything hot on his plate before he lands at the table after his quick wash I forget to get the camera out and click the photos and sometimes it so happens that i do click the photos but they are not appealing enough for you to look at sooo...


But I promise to be more regular BUT BUT... I WANT ALL THOSE READING THE POST TO PROMISE ME ONE THING .... PLEASE DO COMMENT , I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW YOUR REACTION... AND TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE READ MY POST .. ONLY WHEN I GET PROMISES OF COMMENTING WILL I POST (just joking... but please do comment folks..) 

SORRY!!!!
I did not even mention the items on this thali .
Roasted corn salad (my favorite)
Beetroot pachadi 
Tomato sar
gourd bhaji or vegetable with onions and tomato
rice and chapati.

LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS I SEE THAT THE THALI IS QUITE COLORFUL DO YOU ALL AGREE????
