Kerala Sadhya offers you the best taste busters on the plantain leaf. #Culture #Cuisine #Malabar

Kerala – God’s own country offers a lot of cultures. Many beliefs and religions coincide with each other in the state. For instance, the wedding Sadhya is a complete contrast with at least 20 different items though it can go as high as 40 (at times) including dessert and fruit. The feast is almost always a vegetarian affair that is served for lunch. The dishes are usually served from left to right on a green plantain leaf. Why? Is it because it is bigger that can accommodate all the dishes? Well, that’s one reason but the fact is that it is one of the most eco-friendly ways to serve the arrangements. Post-meal, the leaf can be discarded without harming the nature as it is biodegradable. Another advantage of a green banana leaf is fresh, healthy and hygienic. The food served on it is consumed with bare hands. Not to mention the green color that complements with the myriad colors of the dishes served making them look more delicious. While the top half of the banana leaf is reserved for the accompanying dishes, the lower half is for the main course such as rice.
