Onam sadya – cont’d

I am happy to put pictures of the delicious lunch served at Pramod’s place. Not only that, but would also like to share the name of the dishes present on the banana leaf. Pramod has been kind enough to take pictures (amidst guests) for my blog. He has also taken additional pains to give the names / translated names of the dishes.

          

The things on the banana leaf comprised of the following (and the ones marked in bold have been my favorites):

1.    Sambaar rice

2.    Aviyal                          mixed vegetable

3.    Moru Kuttan                  kerala version of kadi

4.    Pachhadi                       cucumber in curd curry (we make this differently, as a salad)

5.    Ulli Thiyyal           kerala onion curry

6.    Mulakku curry                chilly curry

7.    Ingee curry                  ginger curry

8.    Naryangya curry           lemon pickle in red

9.    Naryangya achar           lemon pickle in yellow

10. Upperi                              banana chips

11. Sharkara parati             banana chips in jaggery (gud)

12. Pappadam                    papad

13. Sharkara payasam       moong dal jaggery kheer

14. Ada payasam                         rice flakes in milk kheer

That is some spread, which is home-cooked by all malyali (kerala) woman-folk for their family in the auspicious Onam-period. I sincerely thank his family for the lovely courtesy extended to us and gave an opportunity to indulge in this scrumptious ‘soul-food’…
