This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Comfort Food Edition, CSS Art.

Inspiration

I'm Maharashtrian, and in our homes food never really arrives one dish at a time, it arrives as a थाळी. A steel plate, rice in the center, a ring of vaatis around it holding varan, bhaji, koshimbir, amti, a curl of lonche on the side, and always something to drink alongside — a glass of taak or lassi. That's what "comfort food" has always meant to me. Not one hero ingredient on a plate, but the whole spread landing in front of you at once, still steaming.

So when this challenge said "comfort food," I didn't want to draw one bowl of something. I wanted to draw the entire thali — the way it actually lands on the table at home — and build it purely out of CSS.
