Chef Rebecca’s Onam Feast, at Derby, Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel

This Onam, Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel brings Kerala’s most cherished tradition to the heart of Bengaluru with a grand Onam Sadhya at Derby, curated in collaboration with Chef Ammu Rebecca, Founder of Rebecca’s Kitchen in Kerala.

 Chef Ammu Rebecca known for reviving treasured family recipes. Her expertise lies in the traditional Travancore style of cooking, where every dish is crafted with care, warmth, and a deep respect for heritage. At Derby, she will present a celebratory feast that carries the flavours of her homeland,

The Onam Sadhya unfolds across a traditional banana leaf, beginning with the tangy sharpness of Puli Inchi and homemade pickles, moving into comforting staples like Koottu Curry, Sambar, and Pulissery, before opening into nutrient-filled delicacies like Olan, Avial, crisp banana chips, and golden Sarkara Upperi. Each dish, from the humble Cabbage Thoran to the festive Ada Pradhaman payasam, is a reflection of Kerala’s bounty envelopes in coconut, jaggery, and love.

The air carries the fragrance of curry leaves tempered in coconut oil, the sound of papadams crackling, and payasam being slurped, symbolising prosperity and togetherness. Every mouthful, transports you to the courtyards of Kerala homes, surrounded by shimmering rainwater puddles and festive choirs fill the air.
