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.

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.

Banana Chips

High in nutrition, good in aroma and excellent in taste is what I would call Banana chips. These are one of the traditional tea time snacks all the way from Kerala. Prepared using pure coconut oil and freshly cut raw or ripe banana. The recipe itself varies from region to region within Kerala but each recipe has its own USP and is admired in each and every part of the country. These are not only served as a snack but as a special ingredient during occasions like marriage. The traditional touch and the sweet, sour taste of the crispy brown yellow chips make it one of the mouthwatering products from Kerala.

Bananas are sliced into thin pieces and deep fried in coconut oil to give it that golden yellow colour. This process helps the chips to retain its aroma and taste for a longer period. Banana chips prepared carefully using fresh oil and fresh banana would last for more than 30 days without being affected by the climatic conditions if stored in a dry container. Even though it is deep fried, it does not cause harm to your health because of the ingredients used and various health benefits of banana. It contains coconut oil without any preservative or additional contamination. Coconut oil is a proven medicine for a number of ailments. It helps in hair growth and makes them darker and shinier. It is also used as cooking oil in almost all the houses of Kerala. Apart from Coconut oil, Bananas are itself a good source of protein and other nutrients.
