i visited aurangabad from mumbai recently and oh my my ! the taste of the rajasthani thali is still alive on my tongue. never ate such rich and wholesome indian food. this review won't be enough to cover the different flavours and dishes in the thali but i will try my best to give you a brief idea.
the first thing served to us was the roti and puranpoli, it was topped with ample amount of ghee but it is good fat so i wasn't that worried. next came five different veggies, (butter paneer, sev bhaji, aloo mutter, kadi, dal). sev bhaji was the tastiest among these. for the side we were given dahi vada with some sweet dahi, masala and chutneys and a piece of dhokla. common salad was provided for some fibre. after rotis, there were two options for rice...either plain white rice with dal or the famous dalkhichdi served with a spoon of ghee. the dalkhichdi was a good choice that i made.
after a wholesome meal, everyone deserves dessert. so ofcourse, we were given dessert, not one but three. it included rabdi with dryfruits, gajar halwa and dudhi halwa.
the rabdi was very rich perfectly sweet with a hint of cinnamon , just as it should be. the gajar halwa tasted like a barfi that melts the moment you put it in your mouth (i ate 5 bowls of it).
the best thing about this restaurant was, every dish was made with pure ghee and the finest ingredients. while eating here, you will get a feeling of being a king or a queen.
