Vegetarian Konkani Thali
This week’s blogging marathon theme is “Thali.” By now you would have guessed why I kept posting those Konkani delicacies. I am yet to post one more recipe in the coming weeks. It is no wonder for a food lover like me to explore and try new cuisines. Konkani cuisine was on my list for quite some time and this time I got a chance to try few dishes, and I fell in love with the recipes and their simplicity. No, I am not exaggerating. :-) You will notice that I have not use any onion for this thali. I used garlic, but if you skip those, this could be a perfect festive special no-onion no-garlic thali too. Aayis Recipes and Gayathri Pai’s Food Bytes are the two significant blogs that I referred to for most of the recipes. I won’t call this as a detailed and elaborate thali, but an essential thali that covers the famous Konkani dishes. So here is what I have.
