10 Best Onam Recipes
It's that time of the year again when festivities and food take over and everything else comes to a standstill. Onam, the 10-day harvest festival that celebrates the homecoming of the mythical King Mahabali has a lot to offer. Apart from fresh flower decorations and power-packed boat races, the highlight of the festival is an elaborate meal called the Onam Sadya.

Sadya, which in Malayalam means 'banquet' is a sensational multi-course vegetarian meal that features over 24 dishes on a banana leaf.  It's enjoyed without the help of cutlery and is usually eaten while sitting on the floor.

The usual items on the menu include: Kaaya varuthatha (banana chips), chena varuthatha(yam chips), sarkara upperi (Jaggery coated banana chips), mango pickle, lime pickle, puli inji (tamarind & ginger chutney), kichadi (Gourd in mildly spiced yoghurt), pachadi(Pineapple in yoghurt) , olan ( ash gourd with black beans in a coconut milk gravy), stir-fried vegetables with grated coconut, theeyal (mixed vegetable gravy), erissery (mashed beans and pumpkin with coconut gravy), avialpuliserry (yogurt based curry), kootu curry (black chickpeas curry), sambarrasam, spicy buttermilk, bananas, papad and of course boiled rice.

Now how can you get your very own Onam meal? We dug into our treasure trove and found 10 easy peasy recipes you can whip up at home to give your family their very own customized Onam Sadya.
