Onam Ashamsakal !!!

The kids and I decorated the center table with flowers, Kerala lamps and urulis. The uruli in this picture belongs to my grandmother and it took a lot of convincing, for Riya to believe my grandma actually used this as a cooking utensil.

The sadaya was simple and included avial, olan, sambar, potato fry and carrot payasam. M does not care much for Kerala style food but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
