As Onam is being celebrated with great fervour, senior Indian Forest Service officer Ramesh Pandey shared a photo on X of ‘sadya’, a special preparation for Onam.
‘Sadya’ means ‘banquet’ in Malayalam and, as the name suggests, it is typically served as a traditional feast in the state festival of Kerala. The Onam sadya includes around 25 traditional items like Erissery (pumpkin and red beans cooked with coconut, Avila (vegetables cooked with coarsely grounded coconut and yoghurt), Payasam (rice kheer), etc., and also a variety of pickles and chutneys. Families share sadya with friends, neighbours and relatives.
For foodie Onam brings in images of delicious ‘sadya’ in mind.
