A banana leaf heaving with a mound of rice, fragrant curries, coconut-flecked gravies - the Onasadhya is the highlight of Onam, the 10-day summer harvest festival celebrated by Malayalis across the world.

Since we're no experts on the subject, we sought out someone who was. And who better to tell us what goes into the onasadhya than someone who has been making it for years? Belapur resident Bina Menon was more than happy to decode the components of the sadhya for us.

"To begin with, the banana leaf is always placed with its narrow side facing the left. While serving, vegetables in thick gravies are placed on the top right-hand side. The centre is reserved for rice and its accompaniments, and the least used items, like the pickle and chips, go on the left," she explains.

Preparing a traditional onasadhya is a time-consuming task. To make the process a more efficient one, families use a system akin to a potluck. "Women from different households cook one dish each, and then come together to serve the meal to guests," says Menon.

OLAN/STEW
Either of the two is served, depending on the family's preference. While both olan and stew have a coconut milk base, olan stars ash gourd and red beans. Stew, meanwhile, could contain a mix of vegetables including onions and potatoes. Spices such as cinnamon and cardamom are used in southern Kerala to give it a distinct aroma.

INJI THAYIR
This item has yoghurt flavoured with ginger, green chilli, and curry leaves. The belief is that having this is akin to having 104 dishes, making it an essential part of the sadhya

PACHADI
A mild, cooling side dish that can be made with a variety of fruits and veggies. Try it with vellarikka (Madras cucumber), or, for a sweet-and-sour flavour, with pineapple.

ERISSERY
Pumpkin and pulses make their way into this side dish, which is prepared using ground coconut paste, and seasoned with roasted coconut.

THORAN
Made with a vegetable of your choice - usually cabbage or beans - this dry dish makes heavy use of grated coconut.

AVIAL
A dish featuring long strips of ash gourd, beans, raw banana, drumstick, yam and other vegetables.

KAALAN
This curd-and-coconut-based dish usually features a tuber like yam. The gravy is thick, and tangier than avial.

KARI
The top left-hand corner is reserved for pickles and chutneys. Featured here are the vadukapuli naranga kari (made using a variety of large lemons), kadumanga kari (using tiny, raw mangoes) and puli inji (tamarind and ginger chutney).

SHARKARA UPPERI, KAAYA VARUTHATH, CHENA/CHAKKA UPPERI, AND PAPPADAM
This section of the banana leaf stars all the crunchy items. There is the familiar kaaya varuthath (banana chips), as well as chips made of either chena (yam) or chakka (jackfruit). Sharkara upperi, meanwhile, is nothing but jaggery-coated banana chips. And, of course, no meal is complete without some light-as-air pappadam (papad).

PARIPPU, SAMBHAR, RASAM AND MORU
These three are served in order, course by course. The parippu (lentils) is served first, with a dollop of ghee on the side, followed by the sambhar. The soup-like, tamarind-flavoured rasam is poured next, and the cooling moru (buttermilk) comes last, to help you wash down the meal.

PRADHAMAN
This is a traditional term for payasam. Two types are served as part of the sadhya - paal ada (above), and pazham (below). The former is made with rice and milk, while the latter - prepared with jaggery, coconut milk and banana - is more decadent.

A UK court on Monday dismissed fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya's appeal against extradition to India.

"We consider that while the scope of the prima facie case found by the Senior District Judge (SDJ) is in some respects wider than that alleged by the respondent in India. There is a prima facie case which, in seven important respects, coincides with the allegations in India," a part of the order by the UK court read.

A CBI spokesperson confirmed to ANI that the "UK high court dismissed Mallya's appeal against his extradition to India." The 64-year-old businessman had begun the lengthy appeals process in the UK court in February this year against an order to extradite him to India to face multiple charges relating to the collapse of Kingfisher Airlines.

It followed a ruling by a lower court -- the Westminster Magistrate's Court -- in December 2018 - that Mallya should be sent to India to face the charges, including one of money laundering to the tune of Rs 9,000 crore. The businessman fled India in March 2016 and has been living in the UK since then.

As a last ditch effort to prevent his extradition to India, embattled liquor baron Vijay Mallya on Monday filed an application in UK Supreme Court to prevent implementation of an earlier order that made his return to India imminent.

The application came after a gap of almost two weeks after the London High Court on April 20 rejected a similar application and ordered his extradition to India to face enforcement authorities there in connection with a Rs 9,000 crore bank fraud and money laundering case involving his now defunct Kingfisher Airlines.

The UK Supreme Court is expected to hear the matter later this week. Legal experts said that if the application is rejected by Supreme Court as well, then UK Home Secretary would have to sign on Mallya's extradition papers within 28 days.

Mallya's application in Supreme Court came on the last day when such an appeal could be made in the top court. The 64-year-old businessman was given 14 days to file such an application against the order of High Court. The high court dismissed his appeal against a Westminster Magistrates' Court extradition order certified by the UK Home Secretary.

Legal experts quoted above said it is unlikely for Mallya to get a reprieve from Supreme Court as it would only look as constitutional issues and may not tamper with high court's order if other aspects are in order.

This should be music to the ears of enforcement agencies in India who have been waiting for a long time get hold of the fugitive businessman. The ED has attached several properties of Mallya in the last few years under sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

Mallya is being investigated by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the loan fraud case.

He was arrested by the UK authorities on April 20, 2017 on the request of the Indian investigative agencies.
