Onam is kerala's famous harvest festival. Onam is celebrated in the beginning of the month of ''Chingam'', the first month of Malayalam Calendar. This festival continues till the tenth day and that is meant to be biggest day called ''Thiru onam''. People believe that it is on Thiru Onam that the spirit of legendary King Mahabali visits the state of Kerala. People wish eachother and the most adorable thing is ladies dressed up in onam saree make pookalam infront of their door steps inorder to welcome Maveli followed by a Thiruvadirai kali (Dance) ie they dance surrounding the pookalam. In noon an exotic ''Onam Sadhya'' (meals) with 11 to 13 prescribed dishes is served on banana leaf. Coming back to my days, we had a blast celebrating onam last weekend. I would love to share this with u all. So there were nearly 50 memebers and we decided to prepare potluck meals. So on my hand I was given to prepare ''Pineapple pachadi' and 'Sambhar''.
Heres goes my recipe
''PINEAPPLE PACHADI'' I have pasted long back in my blog. I prepared the same on ''Vishu''. So for the ingredients please click here-
''SAMBHAR'' for the ingredients please click here-
. The only difference i have added is extra vegetables plus fried ladiesfinger.
Our POOKALAM
After pookalam we had a relaxing onam sadhya. Have a look on my banana leaf. I know all would be drooling on this.
Later after having tummy full fabulous onam sadhya, it was time to have fun and games. Really we had a blast on last weekend.
Finally a pic of my daughter ''Smera'' with her onam dress.
Enjoy!!

I also went to a kerala frnds place for dinner...I ll ask u to post few recipes,which I want..Ok deal?
Yes, I was away from blogging for pretty long...but back now. You can definitely try that recipe with other fish, such as rohu,pomfret,etc. and even big prawns, since the flavour of coriander will increase the taste.
Ummmm iam taking time to decide which is more tastier and nice. All are awesome and that cute little princess is much more beautiful. Lovely dress of her and nice entries to the event.
ur little one is a doll suma:) and what a beautiful onam sadya... love it.

hi what a scrumptious ona-sadya! lovely onam dress too for Smera. She looks so cute. I have to try the pineapple pacchadi, I don't like to eat pineapple fruit, so it should be delicious as a pacchadi.
