“Grand Punjabi Thali includes different authentic punjabi curries, salads served with simple pulao and roti. The meal is finished with a sweet and a sweet lassi.”

I Made a Grand Punjabi Vegetarian Thali with 12

Dishes

I made this punjabi thali a few months back for my youtube channel. I thought of sharing the same in my blog too. Since many of you will be interested. This thali took me around 3 to 4 hours to prepare. Since I was shooting video it took me little extra time. But it is completely worth the work.

I made pulao, plain basmati rice, missi roti as main course.

For the side, I made

• Aloo tamatar sabzi
• Kadi pakora
• Daal makhani
• Mixed veg sabzi
• Palak Paneer
• Pomegranate raita
• Kachumber

Sweet I made, Wheat Halwa or Kada Prasad

Drink I made Sweet Lassi

Accompaniments I served with pickle and papad.

I am sharing all the links for the written recipe and the video for the recipe.

1)Vegetable Pulao – Written Recipe & Video Link

Vegetable pulao is made using mixed vegetables and few spices. The pulao is very mild and pairs great with all those curries.

2)Plain Basmati Rice & Pickle

• Basmati rice is cooked in a pot with 1:2 rice to water ratio.
• I usually wash the rice really well and soak for 15 minutes.
• Take the drained rice in a pot, cover with 2 cups of water. Add little salt. Bring it to a boil. Simmer the pot, cook on low heat for 12 to 15 mins.
• Now take it off the heat and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
• Now fluff up with a fork.
• Fluffy basmati rice is done.
• You could add a tsp of ghee in this too.
