How 150,000 People Are Fed For Onam In Kerala, India | Big Batches | Insider Food

[@jayanthkn7056]

I have been reading a lot of comments about the lack of hygiene, so I am giving some details here: 1. Onam Sadhya is a festive spread, and it is dedicated to God. So consider it as offerings from God or sanctified food. 2. All the cooks or chefs who are involved in the preparation have to take a bath before they start preparing. They don't touch anything until they take a bath and then start by general prep work. 3. Even when celebrating Onam at home, the ladies will take bath, pray to God and wear clean clothes before they start cooking for the Sadhya. 4. Traditional attire for men is bare chested or wrapping a long shawl on their upper body, wearing a dhoti (lungi) with a shawl wrapped around the waist over the dhoti. You can wear a shirt, but the dhoti is compulsory. This is enforced for devotees in some places. In temples across South India, such attire is worn by all temple priests and cooks. They believe they are God's servants and the attire showcases humility and their dedication towards fulfilling His activities. 5. The cooks are very mindful of hygiene and cleanliness when they prepare the food. It is because the food is offered to God first, sanctified and then served to devotees as offerings. It is sacred, even the preparation is considered sacred and the people who prepare the food take utmost care and dedication while preparing it. I understand some people's concern about the way the food is prepared and the people are showcased, but this is how traditionally food is prepared by men for religious activities, and they take utmost care and maintain hygiene while preparing it.

[@jayanthkn7056]

@Human Bad sanitation? Lack of hygiene? I think you didn't read my comment completely. They have to maintain cleanliness and they do. The only fault I can see lack of gloves and hairnets. And no one has died having consumed the Sadhya spread nor have people taken ill. Thousands of people consume the Sadhya on a daily basis during Onam. They have been in business all these years. Nothing has happened so far, people praise them for their Sadhya and many people continue to visit for the Sadhya.

@Human Lack of utensils?? How do you prepare food for large numbers of people then? Small pots and pans? Of course you need huge vessels and copious supply of cooking gas which they have. And the people who serve food are different from the cooks. The people who serve are not bare chested.

Eating from banana leaves is a part of the tradition, not just for the harvest festival Onam. It is so intertwined to the Onam Sadya that I who live in Zone 7, plant plantain sapling in late March for fully developed broad leaves by late August/ early September for Onam feast. I do this every single year. I take couple of days off before Onam and prepare around twenty items all from scratch ( except fryums).

[@pradman81]

You will be hard pressed to find a more eco friendly usage of a tree like we Indians use the banana tree. Absolutely no part of the tree is wasted. Every part... fruit, flower, stem and leaves are used in a variety of ways. Heck, even the fibre from the cast away 'bark' is used as a thread to make flower garlands. Not so fun fact: Severe burn victims use banana tree leaves as a sleeping mat since burnt flesh and skin will not stick to the leaf. It is a natural teflon for us.

Thank you for doing a story on the cuisine in my parents' home state of Kerala. Its one area that is often overlooked in many food shows. Two things that this video proves is that: 1. India has mastered creating a plethora of tasty foods using vegetarian ingredients. 2. Vegetarianism is NOT a pancea to reverse obesity, as demonstrated by all the corpulent vegetarian bodies in this video who are both cooking and eating this food. So many in the West are inclined to believe that vegetarianism is "healthier". That is not necessarily the case. So many of my strict vegetarian Hindu friends are obese.

[@alphacause]

@@sewaprolo That is interesting. I went on a strict low carb diet, mostly centered around eating meat and green vegetables, coupled, with some intermittent fasting, and I lost well over 100 lbs. Of course weight loss comes down to producing calorie deficits, so as long as this negative calorie balance is achieved, you will lose weight eating any type of food. With that said, a meat centered diet, because of how satiating meat is, tends to make achieving those caloric deficits easier. I credit the ability of meat to subdue my appetite, with my weight loss - a weight loss I could not achieve and sustain with a diet that was more starch and plant based.
