Thali Dish – Preium Stainless Steel 32cm from India

Thali Dish

Remember in India, stainless steel is sold by weight and we know ours are heavier than the others on ebay. Heavier means, longer lasting, better feeling dishes. Ours are from Jaipur, Rajesthan, India. Don’t buy a cheapo lightweight Thali dish, buy one that will last years.

Main dish only – spoon & bowl etc not included!
Enjoy that authentic taste of India in this Thali dish.

Background

Thali refers to the metal plate that a thali meal may be served on, while Bhojanam refers to full meals. Thali is popular in Punjab,[2] Uttar Pradesh and other states in North India. The idea behind a thali is to offer all the 6 different flavours of sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy on one single plate (technically the last two are actually forms of chemesthesis rather than true flavours). According to Indian food custom, a proper meal should be a perfect balance of all these six flavours. Restaurants typically offer a choice of vegetarian or meat-based thalis.

In the early days, thalis were only reserved for royalty. Emperors feasted on the bountiful meal that was offered to them by the villagers and servants. Thalis or Bhojanams were known as the “rich mans” food and only the elite and rich would feast.
