Spice Garden of India presents: The Nendran plantain chips

Banana chips are slices of banana that are commonly fried in oil or dried (with a sweet taste, salty or spicy). It originated from God’s own country - Kerala, India. The chips play a critical role as upperi in the traditional Kerala meal known as sadya that are served during celebrations and festivals. 

Years before, every house in Kerala had its own Musa farm (also called “cooking bananas”) that is the herbaceous plant that grows bananas. The bananas were not for sale because it was for the owners’ use.
