A Celebration of Harvest

In Kerala, festivals are inseparable from food. While the Sadya (feast) is the highlight, fermented breakfasts are a crucial part of the celebration mornings.

Onam Mornings

While the afternoon feast is huge, Onam mornings often start with a light breakfast of Appam and stew or soft idlies to prepare the stomach for the feast ahead.

Vishu Breakfast

A day of new beginnings often starts with the most traditional and pure foods, celebrating the bounty of the previous harvest.

Communal Cooking

During festivals, the entire neighborhood often gets involved in the preparation, with large quantities of batter being ground and shared.
