The 10-day long harvest festival of Kerala is about to begin
A typical Sadhya is a massive meal
The all-vegetarian feast is one of the star highlights of the festival
Onam, the 10-day long festival started with much enthusiasm on 25th August and is now coming to end on 6th September, 2017. People in the state of Kerala feasted on the massive meal. In my opinion, a typical Sadhya is not just a massive meal for which each one of us need to work up a massive appetite; it is an emotion that will evidently make you gleam once you taste the potpourri of distinct flavours married so effortlessly so as to leave behind an unforgettable impression in your mind. For those who are new to the concept of Onam, Sadhya would translate into a grand meal, spread across a banana leaf involving close to 24 traditional Malayali delicacies. The all-vegetarian feast is one of the star highlights of the Malayali harvest festival that also celebrates the legend and the homecoming of the mythical king of Mababali.
Onam 2017: What is Onasadhya?
While restaurants across the country usually offer traditional S meals during the festival, it is better that you brush up the basics and go all armed to relish the downpour of all the deliciousness. A typical Sadhya meal is a coming together of plain rice with a range of pickles, accompaniments (pachadis), curries (erissery, pulisherry, kalan, olan, avial, etc), sambar, rasam, dessert (payasam), crispies (papads) and snacks like coated bananas, banana chips among others.
