3 - Course Onam Sadya Menu with Recipes (#Onam) - Featured image for recipe collection curated by Aparna Jha

Onam marks the solemnizing of Vamana avatara of Vishnu and the arrival of the mythical King Mahabali who Malayalees consider as their King. The festival falls during the Malayalam month of Chingam. It's also known to be a harvest festival. Like every other festival this one too is food centric. There's a huge vegetarian spread laid out which is known as Sadya. In our effort to bring in recipes to make your life easier and also to introduce you to new cuisine here's a three course Sadya menu designed especially for you.

1. Appetizers

For the Sadya lunch, we have divided the meal to include appetizers, gravy and non gravy and side dishes. Chickpea Sundal  packs in subtle flavours of green chillies, finely chopped ginger, and freshly grated coconut, while Appam is a combination of rice flour and banana, Aama Vadai  is from a variety of lentils and spiced with green chillies, asafoetida, curry leaves and coriander.
