               Kerala Sadhya is a typical feast of the people of Kerala Sadhya is traditionally a vegetarian meal served on banana leaf (Vazhayilla). People are seated cross-legged on the floor on a mat. All the dishes are served on the leaf and eaten with the hands without using any cutlery.

  16. hi achu, the sadya has a lot of vegetarian varieties to choose from.. very appetizing.
    We in Malaysia also has this "banana leaf rice" selling in indian restaurants. Eat using hands with 5 different side dishes placed on the leaf around the rice. We can choose to have ,fish,mutton or chicken along with those veggies and they are very popular. must have originated from Kerala, your place. have a nice day
