Onam, the harvest festival of Kerala is celebrated by the Malayali community across the nation. Though the sight of ornately decorated boats and their races is home to Kerala, the sadhya (feast on Onam) is common everywhere. Every household tries to make it as grand as possible with items ranging from as little as 15 to as high as 64 varieties of dishes served on a banana leaf. Though this grand celebration is eagerly awaited every year, just like any other festival, people who want to lose weight should note that the amount of calories they consume in a single sadhya is equal to a day’s calories or even more than that.

Let’s take a look at the various items commonly eaten on Onam and the approximate number of calories they contain. Also Read - Doctors on strike in Kerala in the wake of the recent assault on their counterparts

  • Rice – 1 katori – 192 cal
  • Banana chips – 1 serving – 12 pieces – 129 cals
  • Parippu – 1 katori – 134 cal
  • Avial – 1 katori – 136 cal
  • Moru kalan – 1 katori- 147 cal
  • Cabbage thoran – 1 katori – 344 cal
  • Payasam or kheer – 1 katori – 478 cal
  • Erissery – 1 katori – 239 cal
  • Olan – 1 katori – 386 cal
  • Sambar – 1 katori- 121.2 cal
  • Pulisseri – 1 katori – 294.4 cal

So you can clearly see that the the total calorie count for one meal comes to 2600.6 calories which is enough for your entire day! So, we would suggest stick to a few items in one meal if you are watching your weight. Also, you might just want to skip the bowl of pulisseri as you can see it is extremely high in calories. If you are watching your weight, you can try these healthy options from the list of traditional Onam dishes. And if you feel you have overeaten this onam, try these cardio workouts to burn the calories.

The calories are counted using HealthifyMe calorie counter, world’s first Indian nutrition tracker.
