A Konkan thali looks chaotic and is anything but. Every bowl has a place and a purpose, and once you understand the logic, you eat it the way it was meant to be eaten — in waves, not all at once.
Start cool, build heat
Sol kadhi first, to settle the stomach and open the meal. Then the fried fish while it's hot. The curries — prawn, or a coconut-dark chicken — come next, spooned over rice or torn bhakri. The vegetables and pickle are there to reset your palate between the rich bits.
End the way locals do: a little rice, a little curry, and a piece of fruit. Then sit for a while. A thali eaten in a hurry is a thali wasted.
