A little about India, the food, the people and the culture.
The Food
The Indian Thali!!!
Thali refers to the metal plate that a thali meal may be served on.
The idea behind a thali is to offer all the 6 different flavours of sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy on one single plate (technically the last two are actually forms of chemesthesis rather than true flavours). According to Indian food custom, a proper meal should be a perfect balance of all these six flavours. Restaurants typically offer a choice of vegetarian or meat-based thalis. Vegetarian thalis are very typical and commonplace in Tamil Nadu canteens (and South India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Mauritius, Fiji, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia except Vietnam and the Philippines in general), and are a popular lunch choice.
