As a North Indian, thali reminds me of a variety of food enriched by a plethora of spices and oils but this one changed my perception about the flavours a quintessential thali can offer.

She spent months sampling the local cuisine, attending village hats for understanding the local produce, visiting the kitchens of local women and understand the local flavours and cooking techniques. Then she brought out the best of her memorable experience of this journey through new addition of Gond Thali in their menu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Brahmkhass Chakri aligncenter wp-image-1402 size-full\" title=\"Brahmkhass Chakri\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugdundeesafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/brahmkass.1.jpg\" alt=\"Brahmkhass Chakri\" width=\"517\" height=\"307\" \/><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Brahmkhass Chakri<\/span><\/em><br \/><em> <span style=\"color: #808080;\"> Picture source: Pugdundee safaris<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The highlights of the thali were <em>kurti dal<\/em>, special preparation of a local grain,<em> brahmkhass Chakri, Kikad roti<\/em>, and <em>bedra chutney.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1405 size-full\" title=\"Kikad roti\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugdundeesafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/KIKAD-ROTI.jpg\" alt=\"Kikad roti\" width=\"557\" height=\"589\" \/><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Kikad roti<\/span><\/em><br \/><em> <span style=\"color: #808080;\"> Picture source: Pugdundee safaris<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Talking about interesting cooking methods, <em>kikad roti<\/em> grabbed my attention the most.
