Onam Sadya

Every year I ask Amma what she is making for Onam. I ask my sister the same and then I start planning my own sadya. This year I've decided to list out some of the traditional Onam dishes and add the recipes slowly over time. This festive lunch is eaten on a banana leaf (instead of a plate) in company of family and friends. Onashamsakal to all!
