Celebrate Vishu with an exquisite Sadhya at Hotel Classic Regency, Alleppey.

Vishu, the auspicious Malayalam New Year, marks the promise of new beginnings and bountiful harvests. It’s a day when families in Kerala come together to celebrate with rituals that are a feast for the senses, and at the heart of these celebrations is the sumptuous Vishu Sadhya, a grand meal that is as much a part of the tradition as the Vishukkani (the first sight on Vishu morning). This year, Hotel Classic Regency, the Best Hotel in Alleppey, invites you to embrace this tradition with a Sadhya that promises to be a memorable part of your celebrations.

The Essence of Vishu Sadhya

Before diving into the tantalising menu that awaits at Hotel Classic Regency, let’s understand the essence of Vishu Sadhya. Traditionally served on a banana leaf, the Sadhya is a multi-course vegetarian feast that encompasses an array of flavours, from sweet to sour to salty and bitter, symbolising the different experiences of life. It’s a meal that brings families together, celebrating the richness of Kerala’s culinary heritage.

Hotel Classic Regency’s Vishu Sadhya: A Culinary Ode to Tradition

Nestled in the heart of Alleppey, a town famously dubbed the ‘Venice of the East’, Hotel Classic Regency has long been a custodian of Kerala’s rich culinary traditions. This Vishu, the hotel, is set to outdo itself with a Sadhya, which is a tapestry of flavours, textures, and aromas prepared by chefs who are guardians of traditional recipes passed down through generations.

A Gastronomic Journey Begins

As you settle down on the traditional seating arrangement that adds to the authenticity of the experience, the banana leaf in front of you will soon become a canvas of colors with over 24 dishes laid out in a specific order, each signifying a particular aspect of Kerala’s gastronomy.

Starters: The Prelude

The meal kicks off with a variety of pickles, including the sweet Inji Puli (tamarind ginger chutney) and the fiery Manga Achar (mango pickle), alongside the crunchy Pappadam and the banana chips that set the stage for the feast that is to unfold.

Main Attractions: The Heart of Sadhya

At the core of the Sadhya are the mains, a symphony of curries and sides that showcase the diversity of Kerala’s culinary landscape. The Parippu Curry (dal curry), made from moong dal and garnished with ghee, is the first main course item to be served on the leaf, symbolising a humble beginning. It is enjoyed with the fluffy and light Kerala red rice.

Following this is the iconic Sambar, a medley of vegetables and lentils in a tamarind and spice-infused gravy, and the mildly spiced Avial, a thick blend of vegetables in a coconut and yogurt base. The tangy and spicy Rasam, with its digestive properties, makes for a perfect follow-up, cleansing the palate and preparing you for more.

Sides: The Complements

No Sadhya is complete without its array of sides: the Thoran (a dry vegetable dish with coconut), the Olan (a delicate preparation of white gourd, coconut milk, and ginger), and the Erissery (a mash of beans and pumpkin with coconut), each adding its unique texture and flavour to the meal.

Sweet Indulgences: The Finale

The Sadhya culminates on a sweet note with the Payasam, a dessert that is the crowning glory of the meal. Hotel Classic Regency serves two varieties: the Palada Pradhaman, a milk-based dessert with rice flakes, and the richer, jaggery-based Parippu Payasam, both of which promise to leave you in a blissful food coma.
