Porotta, Appam, Dosa, Bhaji as starters, Ghee Rice, Ice- cream with strawberry, chocolate and butterscotch as flavours, are some of the dishes that South india’s caters for Onam Buffet (Yeah, its not a sadya, it’s a buffet).
And yeah, Onam sadya on plate, not leaf. That says it all !!! . What south indies calls as Onam Buffet 2012 is just a buffet of some south Indian dishes. Its no way a sadya, let alone the grand Onam sadya.
Been to south indies for onam sadya 2012 with colleagues today (28 August, 2012), and it had been a let down completely.
