OnaSadya/Onam Feast

We all bid adieu to Onam last week. Again for a delicious Onasadya we must wait an year altogether. I know I am late but I could just manage it today after a week. Hope it would be of some help to some one planning next year.
A list of 16 items were there to make up our Onam feast. Since it is sadya for very few persons, I made all delicacies in small quantities. If you wish to prepare one or the other on a day other than fest you could increase the ingredients proportionately. For Onam Sadya oil used is preferably coconut oil, if not available, choose what you prefer.
I will try my best to write up all the recipes one by one.
And here you go.




As the list goes let us begin with Cabbage toran.
I had shared around 2 years back the same recipe of cabbage toran.
