Thali

Coconut Lagoon’s chefs will be offering Ottawa customers a unique and appetizing meal option that continues their tradition of fresh, delicious food – that will also be seasonal. At Thali, the restaurant, the entire meal will be served on a round plate, or Thali – the Indian word for this platter. It will have small bowls – or “khatoris” – with vegetables, curries, and milk products, as well as rice, pulses, bread and a dessert. Other side dishes may include chutneys and salads. The Thali is complete in terms of balanced nutrition. Its components correspond to the modern day food pyramid, yet its beginnings were part of ancient Hindu cultural traditions. It is believed to have its basis in Ayurveda, the science behind yoga.
