Step 1: Gather the Ingredients

The Kangri Dham Thali comprises several dishes.

You’ll need the ingredients for each of these dishes, and of course, Double Hiran Mustard Oil.

Step 2: Preparing the Dishes

Each dish in the thali has a unique method of preparation. Start by heating Double Hiran Mustard Oil in separate pans for each dish, allowing it to reach its smoking point, then cooling slightly.

In general, for most dishes, begin with a tempering of whole spices in the mustard oil, followed by the addition of main ingredients such as chickpeas for Madra, mutton for Chha Gosht, lentils for Mash Dal, pumpkin for Kaddu Ka Khatta, and rice for Mittha. For each dish, add the ingredients appropriate to the recipe, cook to perfection, and ensure the unique flavors of each dish come through.

Step 3: Assembling the Thali

Arrange all the prepared dishes on a thali, or large plate traditionally used to serve meals. The vibrant colors, varied textures, and tantalizing aroma create a feast not just for the taste buds but also for the eyes.

And there you have it—your Himachali Kangri Dham Thali, cooked in pure Double Hiran Mustard Oil, is ready to be served and savored.
