Week :2 , Day: 3
Theme: Indian States
State : Rajasthan
City : Jodhpur
When we talk of Rajasthani food, we immediately connect with Daal Baati ,Choorma, but let me tell you there is much more to Rajasthani Cuisine than that. We have traveled to the major cities of Rajasthan and while on our trip to Jodhpur I discovered that they had special Jodhpuri dishes. This city is vibrant and people are very fond of eating.
On our trip to this city, we relished a Thali, and today’s Thali is on those lines. I will come back later at the end of this marathon to tell you more about this city and its specialties. Till then enjoy this meal. I had made this Thali a while back and have already posted some of the recipes. There are a few recipes which still need to come up so here you are , enjoy the complete Thali.
Here is the menu for Jodhpuri Thali

The Jodhpuri Thali was very simple to prepare as most of the dishes feature in daily cuisine.
There is not much to chop and this thali took me about 11/2 hours.
The Goonda Shaak, Hari Chutney were prepared a day in advance.
The family is familiar with all the dishes , but in routine they are served individually. Serving all the dishes in a Thali is what everyone really enjoyed.

There is a Rajasthani restaurant in Bangalore which serves buffet and is quite popular for it's food and hospitality. And they have an elaborate spread though we have to shell out more money compared to other eateries and it is totally justified. 🙂
