Celebrate Thiruvonam 2025 with Sangeetha’s Onam Sadhya

Festivals are more than rituals; they are experiences that blend food, traditions, and togetherness. Among India’s many cultural celebrations, Onam shines as Kerala’s harvest festival, a time to welcome King Mahabali and to gather with loved ones for the legendary Onam Sadhya. This year, Sangeetha Desi Mane, a proud vertical of the iconic Sangeetha Veg Restaurant, brings this tradition alive with its grand Thiruvonam Feast 2025.

The celebration will be hosted exclusively at Anna Nagar and Virugambakkam branches, making them the perfect destinations in Chennai to experience the grandeur of a traditional Onam Sadhya without leaving the city. With 20+ authentic Kerala dishes served on a banana leaf, this is more than just a meal—it is a cultural journey.

The Spirit of Onam and the Sadhya

Onam is Kerala’s most cherished festival, marked by colourful pookalams, boat races, and festive gatherings. But at the heart of it all lies the Sadhya, a vegetarian feast that captures the state’s essence. Every dish on the banana leaf has a purpose—balancing sweet, sour, bitter, salty, pungent, and astringent flavours to form a complete culinary experience.

At Sangeetha Desi Mane, the Onam Sadhya is recreated with devotion to tradition. Using authentic recipes, fresh ingredients, and Kerala’s signature spices, the chefs ensure that every dish reflects heritage and homely warmth.

What Awaits You in the Thiruvonam Feast?

The feast at Sangeetha Desi Mane features a spread of 25 dishes, each carefully crafted. Let’s take a delicious walk across the banana leaf.

Paalada Pradhaman crowns the meal with its creamy milk and rice ada blend, offering a silky richness. Chakka Pradhaman, made with jackfruit, jaggery, and coconut milk, adds a fruity sweetness that lingers long after the last bite. Chakka Ela Adai, a steamed banana leaf delicacy, fills the air with rustic aroma, while Sweet Poli, stuffed with chana dal, balances the spice of other dishes with indulgence.

Starters like Paruppu Rasa Vadai bring crunch and spice, preparing the appetite for the courses ahead. The foundation of the Sadhya is steaming Kerala rice, paired with comforting paruppu and ghee (nei). From there, the flavours escalate—Kadambha Sambhar brings tangy lentil richness, while Tomato Rasam offers peppery warmth that soothes and refreshes.

Kerala’s signature curries shine next. Kurukku Kaalan, a thick yam and raw banana dish in spiced yogurt, offers creamy complexity. Beetroot Pachadi adds colour and tang, Kootu Curry combines black chana and yam with earthy notes, and Avial, with its medley of vegetables in coconut and curd, embodies Kerala’s soulful cuisine. The humble Beans Thoran, with its coconut stir-fry simplicity, and the zesty Maanga Pachamulagu Chammandhi, a fiery raw mango chutney, complete the traditional balance.

For crunch and tang, there are Sarkara Upperi, jaggery-coated banana chips, and the irresistible Nendranka Chips, fried golden in coconut oil. Cooling touches like Katti Moru and Moru Kaachiyadhu balance the spices, while the legendary Puli Inji, with its tamarind, jaggery, and ginger blend, cuts through richness. Traditional pickles—Naaranga Achar and Mango Achar—add the final tangy punch.

The meal concludes with Papadam for crunch, a ripe Banana for balance, and a refreshing Beeda, symbolising a sweet and digestive end to the feast.
