A Vegetarian Rice Thali is a traditional Indian meal that typically consists of a variety of dishes served together on a single platter. Thali is a Hindi word that refers to a round platter used to serve food.

- Jeera Rice: Fragrant basmati rice cooked with cumin seeds.
- Dal Tadka: Yellow lentils cooked with spices and tempered with ghee, mustard seeds, and cumin seeds.
- Vegetable Biryani: Fragrant rice cooked with mixed vegetables and biryani spices.
- Paneer Butter Masala: Soft cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in a rich and creamy tomato-based gravy.
- Aloo Gobi: Potatoes and cauliflower cooked with turmeric, cumin, and other spices.
- Palak Paneer: Cubes of paneer cooked in a spinach-based gravy.
- Cucumber Raita: Yogurt mixed with grated cucumber, seasoned with roasted cumin, and garnished with cilantro.
- Papad: Crispy lentil wafers.
- Chutneys: Serve with mint chutney and tamarind chutney for added flavor.
- Salad: A simple cucumber and tomato salad with a sprinkle of chaat masala.
- Dessert (optional): End the meal with a sweet dish like kheer (rice pudding) or gulab jamun.
- Buttermilk: A refreshing drink made with yogurt, water, and spices.
