Danke lieber Freund @TravellerG für diesen interessanten Beitrag.

Es ist so schön, dass du uns diesen Einblick in deine Familie und Wohnung gewährst.

Was mir besonders gefallen hat, ist der Blumenschmuck, den deine Tochter gestaltet hat.

Aber nicht weniger haben mir die Köstlichkeiten der Gerichte und die Zubereitung durch deine Frau gefallen.

Eine wunderbare Festlichkeit und ein hervorragender Beitrag :heart_eyes: :handshake: :pray:

Fantastico @TravellerG è sempre un piacere leggere i tuoi post. Essendo molto lontana non conoscevo questo rituale quindi per me è tutto nuovo quello che hai scritto. Grazie per tutti i dettagli e le bellissime foto e i miei complimenti a tua moglie e a tua figlia per l’eccellente lavoro fatto con amore e dedizione. Il Pookkalan è stupendo, non è così semplice creare un immagine così grande con petali di fiori, segno di precisione e istinto artistico :clap: :clap:

Il menù davvero ricco e invitante, ma avevo già letto in altri tuoi post che tua moglie è molto brava nella preparazione dei piatti :heart_hands:

La foto più bella per me è la n. 2 perché esalta i colori e le forme, ma mi piace tanto anche la n. 4 perché racconta la fatica della preparazione.

Cordiali saluti e i miei migliori auguri a te e alla tua famiglia :bouquet:

Belated Onam wishes, @TravellerG sir.

I love all the dishes, especially would like to taste Pulissery, which seems to be the south Indian sister of ourKadhi or Kadi. :yum:

Wonderful arrangement of flower decoration, sir; I loved it.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Cheers!

“…those 10 days with festive fervor. …”

You are extremely correct my dear friend, @RavindranK

Of course, Onam is a festival feeling and not an event!

Thank you so much, dear @Shubhu1 ,

You have been very liberal in sharvering compliments about the post - family happy that you could understand more about Onam through this article.

The name of the pink dish in Malayalam (in South Kerala) is Khichdi ; I understand that this has a totally different meaning in Hindi.

Kichadi: A yoghurt-based salad with grated vegetables (here beetroot as the main), garnished with mustard seeds and curry leaves. (the pink dish).

Hope you are happy with my answer.

Regards

Thank you so much for sharing so many compliments on me & my wife, my dear friend @Annaelisa

Fortunately, with blessings from people like you, my daughter is an artist and a good dancer…she sings also… The same way, my wife is a good cook and she also enjoys cooking for others - that is how our family enjoys Onam.

I shall convey your regards regarding the Onam pookalam to my daughter and also regarding the food to my wife.

Once again thank you very much for your detail response.

Regards with gratitude,

Wow… Onam meals with Poori, etc is new to us - special thanks for including that shot - is that lemon rice on the leaf, next to Paneer Curry? please… these are localisation of Onam Sadhya - felt very happy.

Ganapati Bappa and Satyanarayan Puja are great events - happy to note that they served food on banana leaf.
