Nothing less than a weavers creation, Onam Sadya gets you a grand spread of vegetable and fruit dishes traditionally served on banana leaf.
It is impossible not to fall in love with the vivid array of its colors and textures...taste of which is further enhanced by the simplicity it is served with.
While I was waiting for my friends to join in for Onam feast at Malabar taste buds restaurant, this interesting conversation got me smiles
xox: nice to have you here. which part of Kerala you have been born and brought up
me: sorry, i have been born and brought up in the jat land. indeed have never visited kerela.
xox: you definitely have some connection with our part of south
me: definitely yes!! some dear friends have roots in your part of south
xox: oh, still anyone can mistake you to be a south indian. nice to have you here!!
me: thanks. since my malayali friends have never invited me on Onam, i am here to explore and experience Sadya.
xox: you are most welcome. what do you do for living
me: i travel..i read, i explore,i click...i love, i laugh
xox: i meant how do you earn your living
me: oh, i work. that's not living!
My tryst with Sadya was quite interesting and the taste of payasam is still alive.
For the malayali friends and not so malayali friends, here's wishing you a happy Onam. May your life be full of colors and rich with simplicity
