Sadhya is a feast consisting of a variety of traditional vegetarian dishes usually served on a banana leaf in Kerala, India. Sadhya means banquet in Malayalam.
During a traditional Sadhya celebration people are seated cross-legged on mats. Food is eaten with the right hand, without cutlery. A normal Sadhya can have about 24–28 dishes served as a single course. In cases where it is a much larger one it can have over 64 or more items in a Sadhya like the Sadhya for Aranmula Boatrace (Valla Sadhya). It is eaten in certain ritual style and environment preceded and succeeded by vanchippatu (traditiona boat race songs). In this sadhya the guests can also ask for some surprise items that the host should be prepared for. It has to be prepared by approved chefs to be eligible as a valla sadhya, where physical and spiritual purity is important.
Who doesn't like this Kerala Nendran banana chips, with its vibrant yellow colour looks like gold coins and the coconut oil used for frying is the secret ingredient which lends the most essential aroma to the Nendran chips recipe. It is a traditional snack of Kerala and holds an important place in 'Onam Sadhya' and even 'Vishu' recipes. A variant of banana called 'Nendran' variety is used to prepare this chips and it is slight yellowish colour and sweet in taste by nature. Both the raw and ripe Nendran banana is used to prepare this recipe. This is also known as 'Nendrangai' in Tamil and 'Ethakka' in Malayalam and commonly called as Nendran chips in Tamilnadu and Ethakka upperi in Kerala. I have shared two methods of preparing this chips, you can go ahead with which ever is comfortable.
