Kerala Sadya
The full Kerala feast: rice with twenty-odd vegetable dishes, pickles and payasam, all on a banana leaf. Strictly vegetarian by tradition, and the order in which things land on the leaf is fixed.
How it's eaten
Narrow end of the leaf to your left, right hand only. And when you finish, fold the leaf towards you: folded the other way is what is done at funerals.
