Onam Sadya or Onam Sadhya or Onam Feast, a special feast lunch on Onam day served on banana leaf traditionally. It is very indispensable part of Thiruvonam (main day of Onam festival). The Onam sadya (feast) is a variety of pure vegetarian dishes. There will be usually rice and more than 10 side dishes and a sweet at the end. Sadya (Sadhya) means banquet in Malayalam.
During a traditional Onam Sadhya celebration people are seated cross-legged on mats. Food is eaten with the right hand, without cutlery. The fingers are cupped to form a ladle.

The traditional dessert called Payasam served at the end of the meal. The 'Kootan' are made with different vegetables and have different flavours. The dishes are served on specific places on the banana leaf in specific order (For example, the pickles are served on the top left corner and the banana on the bottom left corner).

Wednesday is Library Day. The Boy and I go to our town library each Wednesday evening so that he can pick three new books for the week.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to check out a couple of cookbooks. One of them was "A Taste Of Palace Life: Royal Indian Cookery" by Manju Shivra Singh. The recipes looked intriguing and I took a stab at Sweet Lemon Pickle (Neebu le meetba achaar).
It took a pound of lemons, 20 cloves of garlic and a week to make. I was slightly dubious - it looked fairly generically chutney-ish - but it was so good that I immediately went online and ordered my own copy of the book.
The Taste - Sweet, slightly acidic, a little like mango chutney, until you finish chewing the lemon and you get hit over the head with an intense lemony taste that is AMAZING!
