A great big vegetarian feast served on a banana leaf 🌱
🌿 What’s on the leaf?
A sadhya can have anywhere from 16 to 28+ dishes 🤯
Think creamy coconut curries, tangy yogurt sides, hearty lentil stew and sweet payasam for the grand ending! 🤌🤌
Fun fact 👉 Tradition says you start at the top left of the banana leaf and work your way across. I clearly did not. I was so impatient… I started eating before I could snap a pic AND before the sambar arrived! You know I was keen 🤭
I also had a proud wife moment. The servers came around with a spoon for Wayne 😂 He politely declined (in Malayalam!) and used his hands for the true experience ✨
Thanks for the invite 🤗
And the Malayalam Academy of Hong Kong for a wonderful feast.
Happy Onam!! 🌾💐🌿
