Easter Recipes

Wishing all of you a very Happy Easter in advance!!! May the blessings of the risen Lord be with all of us.

Easter

Many Keralaites observe Lent from Ash Wednesday to Easter, abstaining from non vegetarian food and alcohol. After the Easter Vigil Mass or Sunday Morning Mass, it’s celebration time with lots of non-vegetarian food and wine.

Many of you would be contemplating what special dishes to prepare for Easter. Here are a few recipes from my collection. You will find recipes from different cuisines but most of these are traditional Kerala dishes. Whether you are celebrating Easter with family or inviting friends, you can select dishes of your choice for all the courses, and prepare a grand feast.

1. Appetizers

If you were observing Lent and abstaining from Meat and Alcohol, the very best way to open your Fast is with Home Made Wine and a non-veg appetizer like Fish or Chicken Cutlet. Onion Salad (Sarlas) is a great combo with most of the following appetizers.
