Onam in Seattle | Thiruvonam Shopping Guide
Onam is here, and Thiruvonam falls tomorrow, September 5th, 2025. If you’re in Seattle and still figuring out how to bring home the true flavors of Kerala, don’t worry—you still have time. Whether you’re planning a full Onam Sadhya, picking up just the essentials like banana leaves and payasam mixes, or looking for ready-to-eat meals and sweets, Mayuri’s five Seattle-area stores have everything stocked for your last-minute needs.
Essential Onam Sadhya Ingredients
The Onam Sadhya is traditionally a grand vegetarian feast with over 20 dishes, all served on a banana leaf. While you may not cook every single recipe, here are the essentials you can still find at Mayuri before Thiruvonam:
Banana Leaves – The traditional base for serving the Sadhya.
Parippu (Lentils) – For the dal curry that starts the meal.
Sambar Mix & Vegetables – Drumsticks, ash gourd, pumpkin, and tamarind paste.
Avial Mix – A medley of vegetables, coconut, and yogurt.
Olan & Kaalan Staples – Ash gourd, cowpeas, and raw plantains.
Pickles & Pappadam – Classic mango pickle, lemon pickle, and crunchy pappadams.
Payasam Mixes & Ingredients – Palada, Ada Pradhaman, and Vermicelli payasam.
Shop early today or tomorrow morning — banana leaves and payasam mixes usually sell out first.
