Onamkodi

Onamkodi, also known as Onamkodi Kodi, is a traditional Indian dish originating from the state of Kerala. It is a popular side dish that accompanies various Onam feasts, a harvest festival celebrated by the Malayali community. The dish is typically prepared using a mix of vegetables, including carrots, beans, and drumsticks, which are cooked together with spices and coconut milk. The vegetables are first boiled and then tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida, followed by the addition of coconut milk and sugar. The dish is known for its sweet and savory flavor, with the coconut milk providing a rich and creamy texture. Onamkodi is often served with steamed rice and other traditional Onam dishes, such as sadhya and payasam. It is a staple during the Onam festival, which is celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy by the people of Kerala.
