I ate a massive 50 item thali in Dubai with a little help from @LukeDamant

This massive plate full of a variety of Indian food is supposed to be shared between 4-5 people but we 2 hungry vloggers decided to give it a go on our own.

We visited Ponnusamy Restaurant in the Al Qusais area of Dubai with empty bellies and a huge appetite, as we both had a good workout in the hotel gym before going. We were feeling confident about this food challenge until we actually saw the challenge that we were up against with out own eyes.

The thali plate was so big that is didn't even properly fit on a table that's designed for 6 people. It was hanging over the edges.

When they say it's 50 items, that means 50 unique items. Each small container has something different. Lots of veg dishes as well as chicken, mutton and fish. No beef or pork.

Quite often in Dubai the Indian restaurants have beef options because most are run by Kerala people, but this restaurant was run by Tamil Nadu people. The head chef is from Chennai, where I've visited in previous vlogs.

The thali took 20 minutes to be served after ordering it and we were given some bowls of soup as a starter while we waited. I'm not sure if they counted towards the 50 items or not.

When the thali was brought to the table we immediately knew there was no way we'd be finishing everything on the plate so we had to be smart. There were a lot of rice dishes there but we didn't focus too much on them. Instead we went for the meat and veg dishes in gravy, but didn't take too much of the gravy. For me, not wasting any meat is the most important thing.

The first desi dish that I tried was also my favourite from all 50 items. I'm not sure if that was because I was so hungry that it made it taste even better. It was paneer butter masala. The smooth creamy gravy was delicious and the paneer was melt in the mouth soft.

A perfect start to the meal and after eating a variety of delicious items it was the perfect end with some gulab jamun.
