The Silverbloggers Chronicles - Prompt #45 - Memorable Meals You’ve Ever Had

Too many hands spoil the broth - this is what I heard while growing up. But it is not always true.... the authentic taste, the smell, the flavour, the spice, the salt etc. enriches the food to the peak, when it comes out of the kitchen from the laughter and hardwork of too many hands wth lot of happiness and joy.

This is Sadya - a popularmeal in my state. This was prepared ny me on one such occasion

Greetings dear Hiveans and members of the #Silverbloggers community. The title says it all. Interested to know more, make sure you read the guidelines

One of the mot memorable and popular meal in our state, from yester years until today. This is a vegetarian meal with rice, curries and more than 20 side dishes along with four curries. This meal is prepared usually on 2 occasions, one on Onam and another on Vishu. These are two famous festivals in our state.

The specific name of this meal is Sadya. On this particular occasion non-veg is not allowed. Just pure vegetarian rice and its curries. Sadya is the lunch enjoyed by both the young and old.

Let me just brief you about the items and way it is being served. First comes in rice along with 2 curries called Dal and pappad and Sambar followed by a mixed vegetable dish, another curd- vegetable combos (with beetroot, cucumber and bitterguard), then comes in single vegetable dishes. Finally, comes in butter milk or all spice mx rasam ( a hot n sour soup) . Last but not the least, we wind up with a payasam ( a sweet dish made of jaggery/milk).

Now-a-days, in most marriage functions also, this so called sadya is included. And one of the most special & important part of this meal is, they are served in Banana or plantain leaf.

What more ? The best part of this is - a person enjoys this meal, when all of the family members sit together on either side of the table or on a mat spread on the ground.

Some moments become special when family gathers together, for such occasions and enjoy their meal with their dear ones.

So this was the story of Sadya a wonderful meal, enjoyed by each member of the family in our state.

Thankyou for your time and patience dear friends.

Wishing one & all a happy week ahead.
