As much as possible, Leela uses fresh picked vegetables from her garden, from pungent ginger to snappy green beans in recipes handed down through generations in her family. Leela focuses on traditional Kerala Syrian Christian feast cuisine. Learn to cook these traditional Syrian Sadhya dishes, a feast typically served only at banquets.
