A simple meal is always a soulful meal and one can relish any day, to prepare this simple thali / Saadi boshi does not require a special day or occasion well over weeks days, it’s a feast platter.
Well back to thali, it was awesome when you see my food click it says everything.
Coconut curry I prepare with some jack-fruit seeds I had the last from my friend I brought and the curry was really so delicious and also add some baby brinjal both were awesome combo with spicy and tangy flavor this time I add tamarind for a tangy flavor, can also substitute with kokum, if you are impressed with my curry to do try over weekend or weekdays.
