4 - Course Traditional Gujarati Thali Menu For A Weekend Lunch (#SaturdayLunch) - Featured image for recipe collection curated by Revati Upadhya

Cuisine from the state of Gujarat is popular all over the country today. From the amazing spread of snacks including DhoklaKhandviPapdi etc, to flavourful vegetables typically called Shaak and dals and curries, and of course the quintessential Kadhi, Gujarati food has become a phenomenon. Several specialty restaurants now dish out elaborate thali meals for lunch and dinner, to reflect the flavours of the state in a single meal and plate. But you shouldn’t always have to go out to eat food that is essentially home-made goodness. So this weekend we’ve selected the best Gujarati spread from Archana’s Kitchen, just for you. 

Sample our Gujarati Thali picks here, and you can set up a sumptuous thali meal - for you and your family. Complete with everything from savoury snacks to something sweet to end the meal with. Pick one or more dish that suits your fancy, from each segment of this meal selection and you will have a complete Gujarati meal to enjoy with your friends and family. Feel free to pick as many or as few of the following selection, to make a complete meal for yourself!
