Fit, healthy, and super active are probably some of the things that best describe this Bollywood diva. But the one thing that we like the most about Malaika Arora is that she’s a hardcore foodie. While finding a balance between healthy eating and indulgence can be a task for many, Malaika seems to have aced it. Speaking of her latest indulgence, the fitness and fashion icon was spotted enjoying an authentic meal this Onam.
Malaika is a self-confessed foodie and has never shied away from expressing her love for the same. Be it on vacations or during shoots, you’d find her daily Instagram stories filled with loads of tidbits, for sure. Recently, she celebrated Onam with a traditional Sadya. Malaika posted a picture of her meal, and it looked drool-worthy, to say the least. Placed on a thali covered by banana leaf, there were all sorts of curries, condiments, and roti to go with it.
There was a curry and a dry dish made with bitter gourd, another dish that looked like a dry potato sabzi, and a lentil-based dish too. Then, there was pickle kept in a bowl with some green chillies and papadams. We got a glimpse of the wholesome, as Malaika wished everyone, “Happy Onam”.
Onam is the harvest festival of Kerala, where a lavish meal - consisting of 26 dishes - is prepared. The preparation for the feast begins days in advance, and the food is then served hot on a banana leaf. Specifically eaten with hand, it is not only delicious but a well-balanced meal too. Given the healthy and clean diet that the 48-year-old diva follows, this meal seemed to fit the bill.
However, this is just one occasion where she has made us drool. Earlier, we saw her in the calming abode of Himalayas with her mother and sister, enjoying the peace and serenity of nature while following a Sattvic diet. This is proof enough of the fact that spirituality reflects in her meals too.
