Rajasthani Thali is a simple and delicious thali you can put together with just basic ingredients that you have. Because of the climatic conditions and the availability of ingredients in the state, food that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred. After Udupi style South Indian thali,and a mini Punjabi thali I was wondering whether I should try one more north Indian thali or not. There were many thali ideas on my list : Gujrati thali,Rajasthani thali,Kashmiri thali and other South Indian thali's. Ghoomar is synonymous with Rajasthani Traditional Thali Food.
