Happy Onam Everyone!
August 29, 2012 § 21 Comments
Today is Onam, Kerala’s harvest festival. So we get dressed up, sing, dance make merry and eat and drink on banana leaves!
As most of you can see, I haven’t been posting, but here are some images from some of the stuff that went into, and came out of, our Onam kitchen!
I will be back with a bang (it may be a sputter if my cold doesn’t subside) next week- till then, wishing everyone peace, love and plenty!!
I’m late arriving here.. I hope you had a wonderful celebration!? I know the food would be amazing:) Those bananas are really something, do you actually buy them like that?? Wow!
Thanks Smidge! Yeah, we actually do get to buy bunches like these at larger markets; but these came from a home garden near my mom’s office. They sell some of their stuff once in a while!
Happy Onam..wishing you a quick recovery from your cold
Thanks Sawsan…should be back to posting this week!!
I was approached this year by a Dubai based newspaper to prepare an Onam feast for pictures!! Too bad I wasn’t available to fly for the job.
Happy Onam! I love your blog!
Wow! You are quite the jet setter. And thank you sooo much for the compliment!!
A very belated happy Onam to you! I hope that you are feeling better by now Meenakshi!
Thanks Ameena! I am, as a matter of fact, but rain (read torrential downpour) has made a reappearance in Mumbai and the days are damp and gloomy. Drinking Earl Grey, staring out the window.
Happy Onam, I am ashamed to admit that I completely missed it
And I can’t even cook it! Oh well, I have a year to practice 
Hope you feel better soon Meenakshi….
Thanks so much! Not to worry, I can make only a few select sadya dishes! My mom and mom-in-law always help when there is a sadya to be had.
Happy Onam!!! Hope you had a wonderful sadya to dig into. I went to Saravana bhavan (since it was a working day) and dug into some not so splendid sadya. Will make my own tomorrow.
Happy Onam to you, Mimi and the whole family!! Saravana Bhavan sadya I have not tasted…I’m a big fan of their mini-idlis!

Thanks and happy onam to you too!
I read more about the holiday on the internet. It sounds like a fun and festive time.
Hope you are able to enjoy some of it.
Yup, it was fun despite the cold- my tastebuds were still working alright!
Happy Onam my friend – I am sure festivities would make you feel better!

Happy Onam to you! Hope you do get over your cold – it sucks to be sick.
