by Swapna

Wishing you all a Very Happy and Prosperous Onam

It is

Onam today and I was hoping to post some Onam sadhya recipes at least this time

around! But as usual just after summer vacation I was trying hard to

settle down here.... School re-opened for my son and they are getting ready for

their first semester exams by next week.... So in between all this, I didn’t

even get time to update the blog which was idle for the last 2 months.... I

tried my best to reply to the comments and queries, but if I have missed any

please let me know.... Today I thought of sharing the recipe of Beetroot Pachadi

the way I make it. I don’t know if it is the traditional way.... Some people

don’t add coconut, but somehow I like pachadi this way.... Here is a list of a

very few Onam special recipes I have posted earlier, if in case you are searching

for any :)....
