Here is a recap of all the Thalis and Platters posted in the month of September as part of the month long Mega Marathon.The past month has been full of excitement and stress in equal proportions.


To publish a new post 26 days a month is not easy by any means. But this group event is a huge motivation for many of us to push us out of our comfort zones and do the best we can.

I have been participating in these Mega Marathons for a while now and appreciate the feelings associated with being in that 'special mode'.

I usually start the marathon with half the dishes ready. But this time it was moved from April to September owing to the Covid situation. So, I had all of them done except one and it took so long to get the last one done. :)

So without much ado, here are the thalis and platters all at one place.
