Onam Sadya Recipes List | Onam Sadya Items list PDF

In this post, I have shared Onam sadya recipes list PDF and its free to download. Its a pure veg Onam sadya recipes collection. I hope this list will help many to choose the dishes, make the menu and plan Onam sadhya preparation in our home. You can also use this list to choose the menu and share it with caterers for the Onam celebration in your apartments, community and office spaces. People who visit my blog regularly knows my passion towards Kerala food. Since 2012 I have been sharing varieties of Onam sadya recipes lunch menu in my blog. So I am happy to share this list based on the Kerala recipes I cooked, tasted and heard from friends. 

Actually I got this idea of creating Onam sadya recipes items list from a caterer. In recent years, Keralites in many apartments and IT offices in Bangalore, Chennai form a group and celebrate Onam festival in their campus around September month to promote the culture of Kerala. As a passionate non-Malayalee, I am so excited to participate in their events and taste their food. 

Last year this time, Onam festival activities were conducted in our apartment in a grand manner. We paid Rs.750 each to participate in Onam festival activities (Onam Vibhavangal) like tug of war, pookolam, singing and few kids activities like colouring, fancy dress etc along with a grand Onam sadya lunch served with more than 20 items. I got this list of sadya recipes in Malayalam from my friends and I translated to English for my understanding. That list made me think of making this post.

During my recent trip to Trivandrum Kerala, I tried Onam sadya in Mother’s Veg plaza for just Rs.250 and the spread was awesome. More than 25 items were in the Onam sadya thali. I enjoyed all the dishes to the core. Soon I will try to recreate that menu and make a post in my blog. 

Ok, coming to this post, I have made a PDF and a table with list of onam sadya recipes below. Please click on the link below and download it. Scroll down to see the table. Hope you will find it useful. Soon I will try to share a video on how to cook Onam sadya within 1 hour using a simplified cooking technique.

Vishu Recipes | Simple Vishu Sadya Recipes | Vishu Sadhya lunch menu

In this post, I have shared a collection of Vishu recipes / Vishu Sadya recipes. Vishu (Malayalam: വിഷു) is one of the most important Hindu festivals celebrated in Kerala. Its also called as Malayali New Year in Kerala, India. Vishu falls on the first day of the month of Medam in the Malayalam Calendar (April 14 or 15 in the Gregorian calendar). Its the traditional new year of Kerala.

 Vishu festival is marked by family time, preparing colourful auspicious items and viewing these as the first thing on the Vishu day which is called as Vishukkani. The Malayalam word "kani" literally means "that which is seen first", so "Vishukkani" means "that which is seen first on Vishu". The traditional belief is that the new year will be better if one views auspicious and joyful things as the first thing on Vishu. Therefore, Malayali's spend the day before preparing a tray full of auspicious items like golden blossoms of the Indian laburnum / Konna flowers (Kani Konna), money, silver items, cloth (pattu), mirror, rice, coconut, betel leaves, arecanut, cucumber, fruits and other harvested products. All these are arranged in a tray and kept in front of idol of Vishu / Guruvayurappan/ Krishna. This setting is the first thing they see when they wake up on the Vishu day. 

Mirror in Vishukani is a symbol of seeing yourself as a part of abundance you see in the form of kani. The tradition is that elders light the lamps after waking up, then wakes up juniors in the family. As soon as you wake up, you walk to the kani eyes closed, and sees Kani as the first scene of the year. Please watch THIS VIDEO for more details. 

Days before Vishu, people start bursting fireworks at their houses and it concludes with lot of fireworks on day of Vishu. People wear new clothes Puthukodi or Vishukodi and they eat a feast called Vishu Sadhya.There is also a popular tradition of elders giving money to younger ones or dependents of the family. This is called Vishukkaineetam.

 

Sadhya (feast) is a major part of all Kerala festivals, special dishes called Vishu Kanji, Thoran and Vishu katta are also made on this day in some parts of the state. Vishu Kanji is made of rice, coconut milk and spices. Vishu katta is a delicacy prepared from freshly harvested rice powder and coconut milk served with jaggery. Thoran is a side dish that is prepared with different vegetables. Other important Vishu delicacies include Veppam poo rasam (a bitter preparation of neem) and Mambazha pulissery (a sour or ripe mango soup).

SOURCE : WIKIPEDIA and my Malayali friend Sowmya.

I will try to share Vishu Kanji and Vishu katta recipes in future. Today I have shared a simple Vishu sadya recipes menu which I prepared last year. I wanted to share it along with other Vishu sadya items list. I hope you will find the recipes, method of preparation and list of items useful to make sadya on your own.
