Kerala Rice And Sambar

This simple dish somehow never bores me. This is so simple and yet everyone has a different style of making it. The typical Kerala style of making a sambar is so savoury and no one can easily get over it.

Aviyal

The dish made of potato, carrots, raw banana, drumstick, beans and raw mango makes your mouth salivate. Aviyal is a traditional dish that is served with rice and you just can not miss it.

Puliyinchi

“Puli” in Malayalam means tamarind and “inchi” means ginger. So as the name suggests the dish is sweet and sour with a combination of hot chillies and spicy ginger. It is used as a pickle with the food. Jaggery is added to the dish to give it a sweet flavour.

Pachadi

Pachadi is a mouth-watering blend of coconut, curd and pineapple. The dish blended with chillies and spices gives it an aroma that you will dig right into. It is served with rice or roti and with both it tastes wonderful.

Thoran

This coconut-based vegetable dish is another delicious Onam food that Kerala has to offer. It is served with steamed rice and is enough to fill one’s stomach and heart. Earlier the dish wasn’t made with garlic but nowadays garlic is also added to make it even more delicious.

Manga Curry

Manga curry or mango curry is another delicacy offered by Kerala on Onam. Mango cooked with spices, chillies and coconut milk or dry coconut. This curry is usually served with rice because of the gravy but I have tasted it with butter naan which makes it even better. Try it before Onam so that you can decide how much to eat then.

Payasam

No onam festival can be completed without this amazing dessert. Payasam doesn’t only come in one flavour, it comes in four. Rice Payasam also known as Kheer is one best ways to end this auspicious occasion. The other type of Payasams are, Moong dal payasam, Paal Payasam, and Arisi Payasam.

Naranga Curry

Naranga curry is served as a pickle. It is made using curry Naranga which looks like lemon but is comparatively very juicy. It has a tangy taste and can be stored for 2-3 days and consumed in small amounts and is not recommended to consume it in bulk as it can cause acid refluxes.

Ulli Theeyal

Tiny onions cooked in roasted coconut gravy give this delicacy a tangy and spicy taste. You will not be able to get over this amazing dish. On an Onam Sandhya, this dish is a must and it is understandable because this dish is more than just tasty, IT IS AMAZING! Do try it, folks!

Kootu Curry

It is made of black chickpea with a sufficient amount of spices and chillies. This mouth-watering dish is hard to ignore. Enjoy this dish with rice or chapati, I give you the guarantee to enjoy it.
