The Authentic Kerala Sadya Experience
From traditional 24-item veg harvests to our fiery, non-veg UnSadya, we bring the true taste of a Kerala feast to your table on a fresh banana leaf.
This is the full picture of abundance. My Superfood Veg Sadya and Non-Veg UnSadya are designed to be a complete sensory experience. From the layout on the banana leaf to the blend of flavors, every detail is a tribute to King Mahabali's generous spirit.
A Sadya is a conversation of flavors. Here, I explain the different components, from the 'thottu kootans' (pickles) to the 'king of vegetables' and our signature chicken cutlets. It’s a tradition that evolves but always feels like home.
A top-down view of my Sadya, as shared by a happy client. This spread features over 20 distinct items, including multiple curries, thorans, pachadi, pickles, chips, and two types of rice, offering a complete journey through Kerala's vegetarian cuisine.
A closer look at the heart of the Sadya. You can see the mounds of rice ready to be mixed with flavorful curries, alongside portions of thoran, avial, and crispy cutlets. Each component is placed thoughtfully on the banana leaf.
The three mainstays of any Sadya: Sambar, Pulisseri, and a tangy raw mango curry. Pouring these over rice creates a new flavor combination with every bite, a true dance of sweet, sour, and savory notes on the palate.
The dry vegetable preparations are key to the Sadya's texture. This image shows a variety of thorans (stir-fried vegetables with coconut) and a creamy Avial, a medley of vegetables in a coconut and yogurt gravy.
The meal begins with these flavor starters. Tangy pickles, spicy chutneys, salt, banana chips, and a ripe banana awaken the palate and prepare you for the feast to come. The crispy papadum adds a satisfying crunch.
My Sadya On A Thali (SONATA) brings the full feast experience in a convenient format. It includes a curated selection of veg and non-veg dishes, from Avial and Kootu Curry to Mutton Pepper Roast, served in traditional brass bowls.
A beautifully arranged Sadya table, showcasing the vibrant colors of the Vishu festival. The spread includes seasonal dishes made with jackfruit, mango, and pumpkin, all served in traditional brassware that adds to the festive feel.
A Sadya is best enjoyed with friends and family. The joy and conversation around the table are as much a part of the experience as the food itself. It’s a time for connection and making memories.
About The Sadya Experience (Veg & Non-Veg Feasts)
If you think a Sadya is strictly vegetarian, we are here to rewrite the rules. Our signature UnSadya brings together the 24+ traditional vegetarian staples—like Avial, Olan, and Payasam—served alongside our bolder, non-veg preparations such as Trivandrum Buff Pepper Fry or Syrian Christian Chicken Curry, all on a single banana leaf. It is the ultimate indulgence where the smoky heat of our roasts meets the comforting, earthy balance of the classic feast.
A proper Sadya is not just a meal. It is a ritual. We stick to the old ways because there is no shortcut to that kind of comfort. Everything starts with the banana leaf, wilted over an open flame to release its natural aroma and polyphenols. We layer our Superfood Veg Sadya with heirloom recipes, ensuring you get the full spectrum of Kerala’s landscape: the sweet tang of mango pickle, the crunch of banana chips, and the heartiness of Kootu Curry.
For those who want a bit more fire, the UnSadya is our rebellious take on tradition. We serve the complete veg base with your choice of protein—think fish, chicken, or our slow-roasted buff—allowing you to create the perfect bite of rice, curry, and spice. Whether it is an intimate family gathering or a larger event across Mumbai, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the food. We use traditional manchatti pots for our gravies, keeping the flavors robust and authentic.
We deliver across Bandra, Mahim, Powai, and the rest of the city, ensuring your meal arrives hot, fresh, and ready to serve. If you are planning a feast, we recommend reaching out a few days early. Our kitchen operates on freshness, not factory speeds, and we love to prep for you properly.
