Dear Friends, today is Onam...Happy Onam...
Onam celebrations includes a feast called Sadiya
where 20-25 dishes are served on banana leaf
and yes, you've to consume it with your hands
and of course, you have to sit cross legged
Onam is Kerala's harvest festival
celebrated to welcome the famed king Mahabali
there is an order to the sampling of various dishes
first items to be tasted are chips made of yam,
karamani (yard long beans), banana chips
then to the tangy injippuli a thin paste made of tamarind,
ginger, green chilli and jaggery
followed by sambar rice, rasam rice and kaalan rice
a curd-based curry with accompaniments like aviyal,
pachadi, kichadi, thoran, kootu curry
and four kinds of pickles.
sweet liquid dishes made out of fruits like jack fruit
and banana are called pradhamans
while payasams are made out of milk and rice
HAPPY ONAM...!!
