Started following you when you had a hand full of subscribers and now I'm feeling so good about myself. Your videos are wholesome

Jessica, Alfonso, and Little Alfonso thanks for joining the festival and love for our Indian brothers and sisters for showing our lovely Indian culture, one more thing Jessica you should also go to an upcoming festival named Navratri and specifically look for Gujarati community near you or ask Sara and other people in this party they will let you know and buy a special dress for that festival and participate in the dance called Garba which goes on for nine days in the evening, I bet you will enjoy that too as you have enjoyed lovely Onam.

Honestly speaking, im fascinated by the way the Alfonsos blend in and dig in completely like true South Indian- Kerala way. Mesmerizing authentic banana leaf treat! Happy Onam Alfonsos😊

Not to mention ... it was truly wonderful to see you enjoy wearing the traditional Indian Saree. The dish on your top right was a dish made with Cauliflower and the one next to it was 'AVIAL' --- a mixed vegetable dish with cocounut milk.

Avial is seldom made with coconut milk, most of them have shredded coconut.

Did the little Alphonso enjoyed the food? Would like to see him dressed in Kurta pyjama and with tilak! Yes indian South food is amazing and eaten traditional way. Each State of india has its own flavours depending on what's locally grown/ cultivated there. As indians we get to eat Lots of variety of foods. Each food has its climate bearing capacity. South and West like Maharashtra has coconut based cooking along with fish etc as the sea is near. Then in Rajasthan the food has spice, Gujarat too has different flavours and food here is sweet spicy and oily( it's dry city so eating oil is necessary to keep metabolism fit.) Such is our Unique Bharat🇮🇳🙏 Unity in diversity!!!

@@alfonsoandjessica Indian was once number one Wealthy Rich country along with scientific innovations and technology.The Arabs , The Britishers,The French ,The Portuguese all looted , and terrorised us. Yet indians have survived and now is world number 5 th democracy. India has lot to offer to the world. The Lord himself has Blessed this land called Bharat. The more you know about Sanatan Dharma the more you will be attracted towards it. India has a very distinct way of life.Indians never force anyone to convert themselves to our culture or ways. Our system of life is Positive, Organic, and natural. There is a place for everyone. Sanatan Dharma believes in Humanity and in one world as one Big family. It teaches to live in Peace Harmony and in joint families, where children are raise naturally to respect their surroundings and value all that is on Earth. Some defects have come up , due to the British rule and irregularities in the past Governments. But still India is doing well because of its rich cultural heritage. The more you study India, the more likely you will be drawn to Indian. You will rise in love with India. Bharat mata ki Jai!🙏🏻❤️🇮🇳❤️🙏🏻(Salutation to mother india)

Wow! You look great in a sari and necklace! Thank you for the Onam video!

Glad to see you enjoy traditional southindian food from Kerala. Eating with hands is the best thing , which most of the Indians follow , it has scientific reason to it . Our fingers have nerves connected to our brain, so when we eat with our hand , it helps us to secrete digestive juices in stomach which helps in proper digestion as per Ayurveda.Ghee or clarified butter is must in en5ire Indian foods , which h3lps in greasing our untestine and free flows of food and of course it adds a different aroma and flavor to food. Pickle is supposed to be eaten in small bires as side appetizers. Liked the way you gelled into the traditional style of Onam celebrations

The dish called PATCHA MORE (buttermilk, salt, onion with chilles and curry leaves) is a little sour Buttermilk that is usually served on hands scooped up and is usually a palate cleanser. THORAN is a mixed vegetable dish.

Lot of loves from Tamilnadu and karalam to jessica❤🎉

you know, all are so much affectionate .it's really god grace infront of feast🙏

This looks great! I'm happy you got to experience this! One thing I found weird though is that they served the sambhar on the side?! I mean, nothing wrong with it culturally but at least in our home we make a huge deal out of making a sort of hole in the mound of rice and pouring sambhar into the hole ...you know, because sambhar can be a kind of watery dish and you don't want it to run off your banana leaf. This wouldn't be an issue if we were eating on a plate but with a banana leaf...If it was me...I would be feeling so anxious about sambhar mixing with the banana chips and spilling on to the table, lol! Next time you get a chance to have a sadhya, make a hole in the rice beforehand and insist on getting the sambhar in it, you will have a much cleaner and more relaxed experience. Edit: Ok, just saw the kacchiya moru and pacha moru spilling all over....with these as well, you could make more holes in the rice or....at least with the pacha moru, we sometimes just cup the right hand over the rice and have them pour it directly into the hand. So you can drink it and only a little of it falls into the rice and doesn't become a mess. Honestly though, this is an advanced maneuver and its probably better to ask them for a paper cup or something... But most of all, you should probably have a little more rice so that you have enough rice to dam in all the flowy curries, lol! Besides, don't you know the story of Onam? Kerala once had a great wise and benevolent asura (equivalent to a demon) king called Mahabali, who was so amazing that everyone under his rule lived in prosperity. There was no corruption, no stealing or cheating...infact he was so popular, the devas (minor gods) grew jealous of him and petitioned one of the supreme gods to take care of the matter. So the god of preservation, Vishnu takes on the form of a young brahmin boy and goes to meet the demon king. The king asks him what the boy wants and he says I want enough land to take 3 steps and being the kind benevolent king he is, he agrees. But as soon as that happens, the god transforms into a giant and with one step of his giant feet measures the entire length of the earth under Mahabalis rule and with the next step he measures the entire length of the heavens under the kings rule. Then he asks Mahabali where he could put his next step, as Mahabali didn't have any more land to give...and the king who realises that he is up against a major god, offers up his own head as the last place the god can step on. And the god does, sending him straight to pataal (the underworld/netherworld) but the god is also pleased with the kings selflessness and decides to bless him and asks for any wish he may want. And Mahabali, the great king he is, asks only to be allowed to visit his subjects once a year during Onam to see how they are doing. And wish granted...Needless to say, everything went to shit when the demon king left...And all these celebrations, the new clothes, the extravagant sadyas, all this excess...everything is done to pretend that we are happy and prosperous so that when our beloved demon king comes to visit us, he doesn't have to go through the heartbreak of what really happened to his subjects since he left....so yeah...eat more rice! its good to indulge a little on Onam so that king Mahaballi may return to the underworld in peace and doesn't have to worry about us.

Thanks for making these beautiful videos!

The brown lentil dish you tried is a typical curry that goes with 'PUTTU' --- a rice dish made in Glass or Bamboo Stem. The YELLOW DAL you had for a starter is made from Lentil called MUNG or MOONG. Usually a very simple dal dish. 'SAMBAR', is usually made from lentil called 'ARHAR' or 'TOOAR' and has a lot of vegetables in it....
