Sadya in Malayalam relates to Buffet. This is nothing but the feast of Kerala. It is a vegetarian meal which is always served on a banana leaf. People are seated cross legged on the floor and the various dishes are served on the leaf.
It can have about 24 – 28 dishes and all will be served in a single course.
The main dish is rice which is served with other dishes called as Kootan (Malayalam). It includes various dishes like parippu, Sambar, rasam, pulisseri, kaalan, avial, thoran, olan,pachadi, mango achar ,naranga curry, as well as papadum, banana, plain yogurt or buttermilk, and plantain chips.
The dessert is called Payasam which is served at the end of the meal.
