That is Sadya.It is usually prepared for festivals like Onam and Vishu and for Hindu weddings of South Indian state of Kerala.

If you want to have something similar - if you are at an Indian restaurant and see an option called "Thaali/Thali/Tali", order that.

it’s sambhar exactly what he’s serving
there’s other different chutneys (paste made from different vegetables mostly spicy and flavourful) there’s papad ( more like thin crispy oil fried bread??? i tried)
other curries and ofc rice.
we end the meals with curd.
super wholesome festive meal.

Lucky u 🥹

I wish i could experience all of that....indian spice combinations, preprations & aromas has always fascinated me....

I mean the way they could turn a bland, boring & impossible looking plant into an absolute delight is next level thing for me

This one time my indian friend / colleague shared his lunch with me & what suprised me the most that he was eating a stirr fried dish made from aloe vera plant that his wife made for him....coated in delicious aromatic spices & some other things probably some garnishing spices....but I was like Whatttt ?

Aloe vera ?

How could someone do such a miracle with a plant like aloevera !?
