In this post, I have shared a comprehensive list of Onam Sadya recipes in a free-to-download PDF format. This collection features a variety of pure vegetarian Onam Sadya recipes. I hope this list will greatly assist many in choosing dishes, creating the menu, and planning the preparation for an authentic Onam Sadya at home.
Moreover, you can use this list to finalize the menu and conveniently share it with caterers for Onam celebrations in apartments, communities, and office spaces. My regular readers know that I am deeply passionate about Kerala cuisine. Since 2012, I have been consistently sharing diverse Onam Sadya lunch menus on my blog. Therefore, I am thrilled to present this list, curated from recipes I have personally cooked, tasted, and learned from friends.

Actually, I got the idea of creating an Onam Sadya recipes list from a caterer. In recent years, Keralites in many apartments and IT offices in Bangalore and Chennai have been forming groups to celebrate the Onam festival on their campuses around September to promote Kerala’s rich culture. As a passionate non-Malayalee, I am always excited to participate in their events and enjoy the delicious food.
Last year this time, Onam festival activities were conducted in our apartment in a grand manner. We paid Rs.750 each to participate in Onam festival activities (Onam Vibhavangal) like tug of war, pookolam, singing and few kids activities like colouring, fancy dress etc along with a grand Onam sadya lunch served with more than 20 items. I got this list of sadya recipes in Malayalam from my friends and I translated to English for my understanding. That list made me think of making this post.

During my recent trip to Trivandrum, Kerala, I had the opportunity to try Onam Sadya at Mother’s Veg Plaza for just Rs. 250, and to my delight, the spread was absolutely incredible. With more than 25 items in the Onam Sadya thali, it truly was a feast to remember. I thoroughly enjoyed each dish and savored the experience to the core. Inspired by this, I am planning to recreate that menu soon and share the detailed post on my blog. As a food blogger, I believe this will be a wonderful addition to my Kerala recipes collection, and I’m excited to help others enjoy this authentic experience at home!
Now, coming to this post, I have prepared a PDF and a table featuring a detailed list of Onam Sadya recipes below. To access it, simply click on the link provided and download it. Additionally, you can scroll down to view the table directly. I hope you will find this resource incredibly useful for planning your Onam celebrations. Furthermore, I am excited to share that I will soon post a video demonstrating how to cook an entire Onam Sadya in just one hour using a simplified cooking technique. Stay tuned for that!
