Recipes for Onam Sadya

When I went home in June this year, I had tall plans. I wanted to cook a 21-item sadya (traditional Kerala feast) for myself and my I-don't-like-Kerala-food-all-that-much husband. I even brought back some things like ada for Ada Pradhaman, vanpayar for Olan, pappadom and miscellaneous other Kerala-food-related ingredients.

Today is onnaam Onam (the first day of the 10-day celebrations) My bad for getting this wrong, but anyway the last thing I want to do is cook! But, don't be like me, ok? Here are some recipes to help you along in case you are planning to cook an Onam Sadya for your family. Its not an exhaustive list, unfortunately, but since I am a quick-recipe person, these are all easy recipes for your Onam sadya!
