Breaking Down Each Dish
The Flavor Punch: Ulavacharu Rasam

You can't really have a Thali without some comforting rice, right? Today, I've got a bowl of fluffy white rice, made easy in the rice cooker. It's a simple and satisfying base that provides the energy I need. This serving comes in at 112 calories with 2g of protein and 25g of carbs. It's a great way to round out the meal.
The Protein: Spicy Egg Omelet
To make sure this Thali has a good protein punch, I've included a delicious Spicy Egg Omelet. Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, and this one is kicked up a notch with some flavorful spices. This satisfying omelet brings in 172 calories with a solid 11g of protein and just 1g of carbs. Protein is key for staying energized throughout the day!
