HAPPY ONAM EVERYONE.........I prepared onam sadya this year too...Last year thought of posting recipes but apart from laziness 😁😁😁and being busy  how soon time flies........I don't know I am soooo obsessed with onam sadya.I become soo excited as onam approaches.First we thought of buying onam sadya kit but changed my mind last minute.joy of homemade food and a sense of accomplishment ,preparing sooo many dishes at a stretch PLUS feasting on banana leaf.Its a greaaat feeeeling

Among sadya recipes puli inji is my most favourite dish.Since i was sooo busy preparing and setting everything i couldn't take any pics of puli inji.But this beetroot pachadi is my second favourite.The colour and taste is awesome without which i feel sadya on the banana leaf won't look picture perfect;))).....😉😎
