Restaurants serving Onam Sadya in Bangalore - 2015

Ambalapuzha Pal Payasam Recipe

Onam Sadhya ( At our house)

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.

From Netherlands With Love

Chantel came from Netherlands, the land of tulips, windmills and stroopwafels. She came to India for a week, loved Indian food and want to learn them and try it out when she gets back.
She got me a small box of stroopwafels which I tasted for the first time and it just melts in your mouth smile emoticon
It was a two day class were she learned the south Indian and the north Indian cooking sessions.
I had a different experience this time because she wanted me to take her to the local market, I took her to Russell market, which she enjoyed capturing pictures of the market. It was an unforgettable session. Menna's Indian Cooking Class Bangalore
— meeting a wonderful person.

Me and Chantel

Gift from Chantel - Stroopwafels

Stroopwafels
According to Wikipedia, Stroopwafel is a waffle made from two thin layers of baked dough with a caramel-like syrup filling in the middle. This is a popular in the Netherlands.

After tasking stroopwafels for the first time, I'm keen to get its recipe and make it at home. I also checked online, if anyone was making and selling stroopwafels in Bangalore. Sadly, none.
