Our 30-Day Calendar of Indian Meals and recipes shows you how to plan and cook family-friendly meals effortlessly.

Everyday Indian Thali Meal Idea

In India, everyday meals are an integral part of the food culture. Three wholesome, elaborate thali meals a day is the food ritual that we usually follow in our routine life.

This food series is a glimpse of our everyday meals, inspired by the local produce, the seasonal mood, and the routine cravings.

There are days when we as a family like to indulge in an elaborate Indian Thali Meal. Whereas during busy weekdays, we have to be satisfied with a simple dal or a curry with basmati rice.

These 30 Everyday Indian Meals are packed with nutrient-rich foods, including whole grains, lean meats, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.  

Indian Thali Meal

How To Plan

From sorting the menu planning, grocery shopping, meal prep, and then finally cooking there is a lot of outlining work involved behind each meal. If you are a novice cook like when I started, follow my simple 6 Meal Prep Ideas for Indian Kitchen to help you plan everyday Indian meals like a pro.

    What pretty combinations! Such luscious photos. Amazingly delicious looking food!! I love Indian food but I am just a beginner. I live in Japan and we have some good Indian restaurants, mostly northern Indian cooking as you know. But there are some very good southern Indian restaurants starting to appear. I have been to India on the short trip and I loved loved loved everything I ate.

    Can I ask a question? Are the foods pictured above in their bowls or on plates for a family of four? It looks like really a lot of food and couldn’t possibly be for one person, I believe. What is in your photos has to be more food than just one for one person, is that right?

      Glad you like Indian food. The food served at most of the restaurants across Globe is far from authentic Indian cuisine. These images are of wholesome thali meals widely served across India. One can have it on their own or share with another person.
