๐ข๐ป๐ฎ๐บ is Keralaโs famous harvest festival, and its main celebration day is today. Itโs a 10-day festival that officially concludes on 31 Aug. The ๐ข๐ป๐ฎ๐บ falls during the Malayalam Chingam (Aug to Sep) period, and Malayalis will celebrate with the Sadya, a traditional vegetarian feast.
The ๐ข๐ป๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ is an elaborate meal consisting of 20 to 26 side-dishes to accompany rice, all served on a fresh banana leaf. The spread includes traditional Malayalee repasts like kalan, avial, thoran, sambhar, pachadi, payasam, and more.
We were at Shobanaโs Kitchen to experience its one-day-only all-vegetarian ๐ข๐ป๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ meal.
