Sadhya ( INDIA )

 



Sadhya is a traditional Indian feast originating from the state of Kerala. The small dishes are all vegetarian, and a sadhya feast can contain up to 28 dishes at a time, all traditionally served on banana leaves and eaten by hand.

This feast is typically served for Onam, the official festival of Kerala. Rice is usually served on the underside of the leaf as a main course, and the first dish after rice is parippu (a curry made from oil and small grams).
