When I saw ginger being chosen for this month's JFI by Rosie, I thought of presenting a GINGER THALI. Thali is an Indian meal served on a big platter with several dishes arranged in small cups beautifully, increasing any body's appetite. Depending upon the region, the main dish would be rice or rotis / pooris. I am calling my meal as Ginger Thali because this is a simple meal (mainly South Indian minus dessert) prepared using ginger.
Every dish (except rice) served on thali is prepared using atleast a small quantity of ginger. Don't assume that all dishes are gingery. Even if you have slight inclination towards ginger and Indian food, then these dishes are right for you. The gingery taste is subtle in most of the dishes with a few exceptions like ginger-tamarind chutney and ginger gojju.
What is the menu then? Come and explore. Please click on the image to view the recipe.
