A not-so-elaborate, yet so delicious and easy Vegetarian Konkani Thali that satiates not only your taste buds but also your mind and body. This protein-rich thali is surely a party and crowd pleaser. Check out the post for individual dishes with all the details.
Vegetarian Konkani Thali
This week’s blogging marathon theme is “Thali.” By now you would have guessed why I kept posting those Konkani delicacies. I am yet to post one more recipe in the coming weeks.
It is no wonder for a food lover like me to explore and try new cuisines. Konkani cuisine was on my list for quite some time and this time I got a chance to try few dishes, and I fell in love with the recipes and their simplicity. No, I am not exaggerating. :-)
You will notice that I have not use any onion for this thali. I used garlic, but if you skip those, this could be a perfect festive special no-onion no-garlic thali too. Aayis Recipes and Gayathri Pai’s Food Bytes are the two significant blogs that I referred to for most of the recipes.
I won’t call this as a detailed and elaborate thali, but an essential thali that covers the famous Konkani dishes. So here is what I have.
Vegetarian Konkani Thali Recipes
Madagane | Channa Dal Kheer:

Mung Mole Randayi:
This is the recipe that I am yet to post. It is prepared with green turnip and sprouted moong beans. It is more like sambar but of course with its own flavor. Stay tuned for the recipe. (Update – Recipe posted and here is the link: Muga Mole Randayi).
Parwal Podi:
These are seasoned shallow fried Pointed Gourd fritters which go well with dalithoy or saarupkari. You can find the recipe here.

Let me not forget to mention the cooked rice which is also known as sheeth, yogurt and lemon pickle that’s on the plate. So stay tuned for the next two thali plates that are as delicious as this Vegetarian Konkani Thali. :-)

I am glad to see this konkni thali. Will try it, but want to ask that is it from Assam? Because Konkani is language used there na? I want to know.. and also please tell that the recipes which you shared are fully authentic? I just love authentic things
No Konkani is not from Assam. I cannot claim these recipes to be authentic. I have tried my level best to research and have shared the recipes with my touch.
Near Coimbatore where will I get to try Konkani thali and other tasteful recepies….
Sorry, I am not sure about that.
that chana dal kheer is calling my name – would love this healthy treat!
Thanks Mir.
Thats a yummy vegetarian Thali from Konkan. Looks absolutely nice
Thanks Suja.
Girls, i really admire the patience you all have posting such incredible thali’s!!! Looks amazing!!!
Thanks a lot. :-)
I have always thought that Konkani food is mostly non-vegetarian. Your vegetarian thali is an eye opener. The shallow fried gourds look fantastic.
Thank you, Jayashree. They have a lot of amazing vegetarian delicacies. Yet to explore a lot.
I haven’t tried konkani food either. Though not elaborate like your other two, this one is a beautifully presented thali too.
Thanks, Suma.

Thanks, Sapana.
