    Blogging Marathon# 40: Week 4/ Day 1
    Theme: Bookmarked recipes from BM# 39
    Dish: Tamil Nadu Thali

    Today we are starting the final week of blogging marathon# 40. After posting the unused posts from last month's mega marathon, this week's theme is still related to the mega marathon. I'm going to post the bookmarked recipes from my fellow marathoners for the next 3 days.

    Mega marathon was sure mega in lots of different ways -- mega research, mega posts, mega yapping on Whatsapp and then mega bookmarked posts after the marathon itself. I had bookmarked a lot of dishes, which I'm sure I will not be able to get to if not for this theme. After seeing so many amazing thalis during the marathon, I'm kind of obsessed with the thali concept. So for the next 3 days, I decided to do 3 thalis with bookmarked recipes.

    For the first day, I have a very simple thali from Tamil Nadu. Initially I was planning to make an elaborate thalis like the ones Sandhya & Nalini posted. But one the day I planned to cook, one dish after the other got dropped out of the list and in the end it was an extremely simple thali with everyday dishes. In case you are wondering what I took off the list, I planned to make masala vada/ paruppu vadai, sundal and a lentil based dessert.

    Finally this is what my Thali consisted of:

    • Cabbage Poriyal
    • Potato Podimas
    • Kootu
    • Mango Pachadi
    • Tomato Rasam
    • Sambar
    • White Rice
    • Yogurt (not shown in the picture)

    Kootu: I used Sandhya's Chow-chow kootu recipe and since I didn't have chow-chow (chayote), I used bottle gourd/ sorakaya instead. The use of ground masala paste gives this dish a lot of flavor and it goes well with both rice and roti.

    Tomato Rasam: Tamilians sure know how to make a mean rasam. So I just followed Sandhya's recipe for rasam and it sure was super tasty.

      This thali itself looks elaborate to me. If you had cooked all sides you had planned to, it would have been a mega elaborate thali. Wonderful job! Even I have a long list of bookmarked recipes and don't know when I will try all those recipes!
