Onam Celebrations - It was fun

Onam is always special for Mallus...time to get, all your near and dear ones together and have a ball. Thats what it is...having fun. And thats what we did this time around in Bournemouth.

Had a small gathering of my dear friends.

First time after I have come to UK, I celebrated Onam with lunch on banana leaf and with flower decorations....it was fun, believe me.

Though it was celebrated on Saturday 13th Sept we never lost the spirit of Onam....cutting, chopping, stirring, cooking, spilling, shouting, burning etc...all were there and in plenty..there were a few friends to help me out without their help I wouldn't have been able to celebrate in such big scale. Facts -Including the rice and water there were 21 odd items(Sambar, Aviyal, Kootu Curry, Chicken Fry, Fish Fry, Olan, Pachadi, Raita, Naranga Curry, Beans, pulli ingi, pappdam, Payyasam, chips, sharkara chips, butter(ghee), banana, curd, salt, rice, water)!! Phew....its a lot...don't you think?
