Tasty Tapioca chips – A special snack from Kerala

Tapioca chipsTapioca is a widely used product of South India especially Kerala. Majority of the population in Kerala consumes it as a primary food and is served as “Kappa” along with Meen (Fish Curry). Apart from being a regular food item, Tapioca is also used to prepare a tasty and crispy snack out of it. These are crispy and spicy to taste and is commonly found in almost any small to large bakery in Kerala. The most common method of preparation for Tapioca chips is using thin yet long wafers of Tapioca deep fried in pure coconut oil along with other ingredients and spices. Preparation of Tapioca chips at home is a pain mainly because of the various steps involved starting from getting Tapioca from market to cutting them into thin slices to deep frying in coconut oil. It is also possible that the end product prepared at home might not taste as good as the ones purchased from the market because of the ingredients and the exact process involved.

To minimize the pain and to bring you freshly prepared Tapioca chips, We at The South Indian Store are working hard. Our motto is to make South Indian snacks available to each and every person in the country at the click of a mouse. While packing, we take utmost care to prevent any loss of fragrance or quality of the product. Our 3 layer protective measure helps us ensure the quality of the snacks that we ship to our customers.

Healthy Jackfruit chips.. another healthy snack from South India

healthy jackfruit chips

healthy jackfruit chips
Jackfruit Chips as the name suggests, these are the chips made out of the inner edible pieces of a Jack fruit. To make it a delicious recipe, we add all the secret traditional ingredients while preparing this snack. The taste varies based upon the type and the quality of the Jack fruit being used. It also depends upon the age of the Jack fruit. E.g. – if it is ripe then the taste is different when compared to the chips prepared from a less ripe or a raw Jack fruit. Jack fruit chips are also as famous as Banana chips and are produced in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. If we go with the nutritional value, they are not in any aspect inferior to Banana chips. Jackfruit chips are highly nutritional and are good for health. Their fibre content helps in good digestion. These are crispy and are usually plain salted to keep the original flavour and taste intact. The long yet strong chips when consumed give a mouthwatering crispy and crunchy taste that you can enjoy with tea or coffee. Apart from being a tasty and crispy snack, it also has all the nutrients that you can find in a Jack Fruit.

If you try to make it at home, you will find the whole process very difficult and cumbersome. The process of preparing jack fruit chips involves cutting fresh jack fruit (This is very difficult as it gives out latex that sticks to your hands and are very hard to remove) then removing the inner edible fruits and then removing the inner seeds to make it seedless. Then, it also involves cutting the fruit into smaller yet long pieces which are then fried along with the salt and masala. The whole process is very tedious. Also, the final product made at home may not have the same aroma, taste and crunch as you get from the one purchased from the market.

To make your life easier, we at The South Indian Store are here with an online store where you just need to place an order with a few mouse clicks and we will prepare, pack and deliver Fresh Jack fruit chips right at your doorsteps.
