    Indian Thali Mela Round up

    Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get 120 entries when I announced Indian Thali Mela. Of course, I have to thank my Blogging Marathon friends for being so good enough in making so many thalis. In the same beat, I can't but appreciate the other bloggers who took up the challenge of cooking so many dishes and presenting them so well.

    To all of you, my heartfelt thanks. I am so glad you all made the blog birthday celebrations a huge and grand one.

    As I said I am planning on publishing an eBook with the entries. I know this is one book that will so helpful.

    The list of thalis will be a combination of both Breakfast and for a full meal. It's left to you to make it either a lunch or an elaborate dinner.

    Thalis are such an integral part of all Indian Cuisines. We represent our culture and food fancies in a thali with as many dishes as one can make. There are different occasions that demand different preparations.

    The Thali components differ based on the occasion. If it is a festival feast, the dishes are different than the one put together for a celebration thali. For some, it was a learning experience too. Some were surprised that that we have a Breakfast thali in South India.

    I have learned about so many different cultures, traditions from each of the entries that came for the Mela. I hope you will enjoy the fair.
