This thali was prepared a couple of years back when we did a month long blogging marathon on the Indian States and their dishes.


Here is what I prepared for the thali from Karnataka.

On the menu

  1. Salt
  2. Lemon pickle
  3. Majjige menusu / Uppachidha menisinkai – Sun dried chilies fried in oil.
  4. Kobbari pudi and sesame oil – Lentil and dried coconut spice mix
  5. Happala – Pappad
  6. Alugedde Palya – Potato Curry
  7. Tomato Bhath – Tomato rice
  8. Steamed rice drizzled with Ghee
  9. Molake huruli Kaalu Saaru Sprouted horsegram gravy curry to go with rice
  10. Bellulli Saaru – Garlic rasam
  11. Majjege – Butter milk

Though there seems to be a lot of dishes on the menu, But it is quite simple.The pickle, sun dried chilies,lentil spice mix can be made ahead and stored. The main items are just a few and they are like the other regular dishes we prepare everyday.

  1. Hi, what a beautiful Thali. I thought I would let you know that the numbers don’t always refer to the right parts of the pictures. For example #10 (a drink) says it is ghee rice. And is the sprouted gram curry there? I am interested in this recipe. Thank you.

    1. Thanks for pointing it out Ganga. I have changed the numbers. Yes, the sprouted gravy curry is there on the blog. Click on the recipe name [No.9] and it will take to to the recipe.
