I Made a Grand Punjabi Vegetarian Thali with 12 Dishes
I made this punjabi thali a few months back for my youtube channel. 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 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.
