While fancy dinnerware has its own charm, there is something special about a classic Indian thali. It usually consists of a plate with several compartments for a complete meal, which includes dal, vegetable, salad, raita, roti, rice and even pickles. The thali keeps everything organized, so you can enjoy your desi food in comfort.
2. Charcuterie Board
Although it’s not actually a plate, a charcuterie board lets you get in on the trend by customizing delicious appetizers spread with cheese, fruit, chocolate, meats and more. A wooden board or stone slab works perfectly as a charcuterie board.
