For all my Malayalee friends who are planning to celebrate this joyous festival, I am sharing a guide to preparing an easy  and tasty Sadhya. Vishu celebrations are real nostalgia, the fully blossomed Kani Konna trees (Cassia fistula), Vishu Kani, new clothes, and Sadhya. Vishu Kani is beautifully arranged the night before, and the sight you see on the morning of the New year brings luck throughout the year.

Mambazha Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry Mambazham/ Mango Pulisherri is a sweet and spicy curry made with ripe sweet mangoes. It is an old-fashioned recipe still made and served in many homes in Kerala. Whenever I get ripe mangoes, I cannot resist making mambazham pulisherri.
