Onam is celebrated in kerala for 10 days till thiruonam which is today . The Most important part in the Thiruonam is the sadya platter prepared which is compulsorily prepared in all houes hold in kerala. The meal is served on a banana leaf and has Rice as the main dish and to go with rice there is a array of dishes served as a side dish. Sadya is usually served for lunch , the actual preparation begins from the night before and the dishes are cooked before 10 in the morning.
Being From South India we always loved to explore and enjoy all the south Indian dishes . Last year I was so tempted To make Ona sadya and I some how posted it. I wanted to Recreate same platter with some recipes Included in the sadya this time 🙂 I love to make this huge platter for onam. As I mentioned in My previous ona sadya Post A sadya platter generally contains 15-25 dishes. So I have tried my best to up this platter with some additional dishes . I have added Urulai mizhagu puratti, Ingi puli which I missed in the other platter, Chakka pradaman. It actually took me 2 hours to put up this platter and extra hour for presentation and clicking .. Its really a heal a lot of work to put a platter together But I really enjoyed making them for my family a home , At last a compliment from H will do it all :). I was thinking I should make separate post for every dish which I will be doing soon.. You can check my Old post for most of the recipes.
This time I given a twist to traditional olan , as i din’t have white pumpkin I used cucumber for making them. And also I made plantain kalan this time instead of Yam kalan which I made in my previous sadya platter. We totally enjoyed the platter from start to finish and especially enjoyed making them. This time I hope I have made the arrangements properly .. Oh yes I forgot to keep rasam here just had too many dishes to handle. So this is my ona sadya for this year. Will post the recipes for the left out dishes soon…
