There can be so many other dishes in the South Indian thali menu. Instant Rava uttapam is my favorite that I love to include in that South Indian thali menu items.
I already prepared some awesome uttapam at home a few weeks ago for breakfast. It is not just a great breakfast food. I would love to have those in dinner menu too.

Apart from that, there are tons of chutney those can be added in that thali. I have already tried at least 8-10 South Indian chutneys at various restaurants. Till now, I prepared some of those at home too.

Same rice & lentils made batter can be used to make mini idlis, dosa & uttapam. So you may take longer duration for preparing a thali but if you are prepared then it would not take much time when you will plan for a South Indian thali.
