Restaurants serving Onam Sadya in Trivandrum - 2015

It's a been a long time since I have been in Trivandrum during Onam. So, this August, I'm extending my stay in Trivandrum to be here during Onam festivities. One thing I still relish is the road side illumination, shopping spree of  people and to be a part of the Onam crowd.

Already, electronic stores, textile shops and restaurants has started their pre-onam buzz. Offers, discounts, sale, are few ways how sales pickup during Onam time.

My mother's side come from St Andrews, a coastal locality in Trivandrum. Though I spend very little time in this place, I have fond memories of this place - people ( elders who have passed away) and time spent at Telma villa during my school vacation with cousins and brothers.

Apart from the relative base, I'm now in the process of discovering its unique cuisine. Surprisingly, the food made in many household in St Andrews have a different taste, flavor and even called differently than the typical Kerala cooking.

The distinctive food habits in St Andrews, could be from the external influence. For instance, Pork Vindaloo is popular in St Andrews, Trivandrum. It's also made by Anglo Indians and it's also popular Goan cuisine. Though the taste of vindaloo curry differs, all the dishes have the common tangy taste.

Another surprising fact about pork vindaloo is that, it's also made in some parts of Kollam and Cochin.

Nasi Goreng is another chinese food which my mom has picked from her mom. I'm sure no one in my family can beat my granny when it comes to cooking. She had a wide range of cooking skills, that it's a pity that we are no where close to her.

Here are few recipes, which are popular in my family.

1) Pork Vindaloo
2) Polly's Baked Chicken Mince
3) Scone
4) Orapam
5) Chilly Chicken
6) Churl Appam ( Crepe)
7) Plum Cake

So, what's the popular dish in your family? Is there any secret recipe or killer-taste food which is made in a family member? One suggestion - try to preserve the old family recipe. Don't let it die with a person, let the good taste last long for future generations.

Thanks!

2017 Update  List of Restaurant serving Onam Sadhya

Another Onam is fast approaching and it's time to get into the groove of Onam. And, with Onam, it's time to enjoy the elaborate Onam Sadya on a banana leaf. .

Back in the good old Onam days in Trivandrum, it was common sight to see kids and elders branding in brand new clothes ( Onam Kodi ). Well, such sightings are rare. These days, we buy new clothes almost every month and for every occasion or with some impulsive reason. Thanks to eCommerce sites like Myntra, and Amazon, it has almost killed the old ways of shopping.

More changes...
Also with time, many old ways of life has changed. I remember the way we used to scour the locality for flowers and how we kids used to go in groups and compete to collect as many flowers as possible for Attam.
