I called my Arab friend home for a traditional 'Onam Sadya' (traditional lunch). The Arab friend asked me: Is the Onam lunch Veg or Non veg? I told him: It's Vegetarian, are you coming? He said he would come. And he came and sat for the 'Sadya' (lunch). I placed the traditional big banana leaf and a glass of water in front of him to serve the Onam lunch, and went inside to bring the Onam meal. When I came back, my Arab friend ate the big banana leaf and drank the water, and said: Masha Alla... Thamam... This is the first time I have ever eaten such a big leaf as 'Salad'... HAPPY ONAM! |
