Coastal feast
This Onam, TAT - Coastal Cuisine is hosting a coastal-inspired menu that has been thoughtfully designed to capture the rich, authentic flavours of Kerala while adding a contemporary twist that promises a sensory journey along the Malabar coastline with the Onam Sadhya.

Dive into Avial, a vibrant medley of vegetables cooked in a creamy coconut gravy, and savor the refreshing Beetroot Pachadi, a unique blend of sweet and tangy flavors. The pièce de résistance, however, is Ada Pradhaman—an exquisite dessert made with flat rice noodles, organic jaggery, and creamy coconut milk, offering the perfect sweet finale. accompaniments like Pulli Ingi, a tangy tamarind-ginger relish, and Kadumanga, a spicy mango pickle, bring a burst of zest. Upperi and banana chips provide a delightful crunch, while fresh bananas and crispy pappadums round out this traditional feast.
