Dal Puri - Kheer

Now finally today I reached the state Bihar to make a thali from the cuisine. When I want to make a thali from this cuisine I came to know there are two types of thalis. One is a normal thali with rice, roti and dry and gravy curries usually this every day thali didn't contain any sweet. The second one is a festival thali which contain dal puri with gravy and dry curries chutney and kheer. Actually I wanted to make Litti choka with a thali. But when I spoke to my friend Shweta, she told me they didn't consider Litti choka as a meal means they didn't include this in a thali . She suggested me this festival thali. She used to feed me this food for some of there festivals like Chhath pooja and Diwali. Now I am going to try  this festival thali  from Bihar
Let's check What I made for this Bihari Festival thali..
