Summer special Vegetarian Thali
Summer special Vegetarian Thali is a light and refreshing meal that has the summer special veggies served along with gluten-free and refreshing Takachi kadhi.
Today's Thali
My today's thali consists of simple no onion no garlic bhindi(okra), aloo baingan, watermelon rind sabji (using the white flesh), Takachi kadhi, tomato and roti/paratha.
Takachi Kadhi (Yogurt/curd & Gram flour Soup)
My family loves kadhi and especially the plain one without anything in it. The daughter calls it soup and she enjoys it with roti. I love kadhi in all forms. This Pakodi wali kadhi is my favourite and pairing it with steamed rice is my comfort food.
Sabji/Dry Vegetable
For me kadhi is incomplete without bhindi or baingan. Whenever I make kadhi or either of the veg I pair them along. This time I had both the veggies and decided to combine this into my summer thali.
Watermelon Rind Sabji
I made this thali during summers here. As the Summer season was in full swing, we had loads of watermelon. I try to use the whole watermelon whenever possible. Hence made this watermelon sabji using white rind. And if you are thinking about how can I use the green hard rind of watermelon, check out this Watermelon Rind Sabji using the green part.
This is my second entry for the thali marathon, which is a month-long marathon where we would be sharing different thalis and platters for the whole month except Saturday.
My first thali towards this theme was this North Indian Vegetarian Lunch Thali.
So in Today's Summer Special Vegetarian Thali I have
- Bhindi /Okra Sabji (No Onion No Garlic)
- Tomato & Paratha/Roti
PS - As said in my earlier post on North Indian Vegetarian Lunch Thali, I am sharing the recipes individually for each of the above in Separate posts. For some the recipes would be there on my blog, for some I would be adding on so please bear with me.

That plate looks so filling and healthy Renu. I remember making the watermelon rind subzi sometime back. Bhendi is how we make, the brinjal is new, on the whole, an excellent combination of dishes.
The everyday thalis are the best , I am loving the kadhi , a sabzi with watermelon rind is something I have never tried , bhindi of course is similar to what I make , and baingan - the combo is good and perfect for a everyday thali . Will check the recipes for trying new dishes .
Love the simple everyday thalis and this one sounds very filling and comforting too. Though I would avoid the baingan owing to allergies.
I love pairing Mor kuzhambu (South Indian version of Kadhi) with bhindi stir fry. My Husband likes it with beans usili or green plantains though. Plain Kadhi and rice is a great combination too. I love the platter a lot, a treat for sure!
That is sure a comforting and everyday style meal. Did you prepare the watermelon rind curry the same way you did the green part? I just froze some white part of the watermelon skin a few days ago and would like to give it a try.
good deal , thanks, it works well
Thali looks so inviting with lot of side dishes. I have bookmarked your watermelon rind subzi when you posted. should try during next summer.
Sure do. Thanks Naramadha
Love these amazing combination and each and every dishes. I love watermelon rind and I have been using them in all different ways this year. Delicious no onion no garlic thali.
