Gujarati Thali with Undhiyu

Happy Uttarayan everyone! The day of tal ni chikki and lots of kite flying is here. And for a foodie nothing makes the day more than undhiyu and puri!

I made this thali last winter when the market was flooded with fresh vegetables. If you have access to this variety of vegetables, you can make it any time of the year.

Peas Pulao
Undhiyu
Kadhi
Tameta Ganthiya nu Shaak
Dudhi ni Kheer
Chocolate Pan (ready made)
Lilva ghughra
Aathela marcha
Puri
Gajar nu kachumbar
Phudina ni Dahiwali chutney

The traditional components of this thali would be

A type of Bread
Rice preparation
Two sabzi's, one dry and one with gravy
One beans dish
Daal or Kadhi
Two desserts
One farsan (hot savoury snack)
Chutneys
Salad
Accompaniments

The peas pulao recipe is adapted from here but I have omitted turmeric and cauliflower. The tameta ganthiya nu shaak is adpated from here. Just change the sev to ganthiya. Other recipes to follow soon!

Hope this meal inspires you to make Undhiyu this Uttarayan!
