Easy Indian Vegetarian Thali (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

If you are looking for some healthy and simple food for every day, check out my Easy Indian Vegetarian Thali which is vegan, gluten-free, and is a complete meal with veggies, carbs, and protein.

My thali It has the balance of carbs and proteins from pumpkin sambar dal, Eggplant stir-fry, Rice, Rice Bhakri (gluten-free rice Flatbread), red garlic chutney, and fresh tomatoes.

The thali idea might seem elaborate to a few, but this is generally our everyday meal. Yes at times it is getting difficult with office and work, but used to be earlier. I try to make such meals at home as my family loves them and when I make such meals the whole family sits and enjoys together. Typically the roti or bread is made hot and served immediately.

I wish I could post more of such meals, but I do not find the time to click them as everyone wants food at times and you cannot expect your family to wait all time 😊.

However, I have a few thali meals on my blog. Here is the complete collection of 26 Vegetarian Thali and meal platters

If you are looking for a specific thali like this gluten-free fasting thali or this Navratri Asthami thali which we make for festivals.

My thali is a mix today from South Indian Sambar to Bhakri from Maharashtra. So not specific to any region but a mixture of flavors and textures. And yes that is how an everyday thali would look. You make what you have, what is seasonal, and when you are a food blogger, all different cuisines 😊.
