As I said in the above posts Onam Sadhya (lunch) can be sweet, tangy, spicy, bitter .... Pineapple pachadi is for people with a sweet tooth, but it is sad that it is served as a thodu curry means you get to eat very little or you have to ask for more. If you are not with a sweet tooth, naranga curry with all its bitterness will come for the rescue. Now if you feel like having a little tanginess in your mouth, puli inji is there to balance it. In short Onam Sadhya is such a balance of flavours from sweet ....... bitterness, once a year you get to dance your tongue with all flavours oozing out.
