Plural of dali, a historical variant spelling of a type of Indian or Middle Eastern bread or flatbread, though rarely used in modern English.
From Hindi or Sanskrit origins related to various flatbreads in South Asian cuisine. The word appears in historical English texts but has largely been replaced by more common terms like 'dhal' or 'dal' for lentil dishes.
Language changes with food trends—'dalis' shows up in old English trade documents about spices and Indian goods, but modern cooks just say 'dal' instead. Words go in and out of fashion!
