Kerala banana chips, also known as Ethakka Upperi, are a popular snack and is synonymous with Kerala. These crispy, thin chips are made from raw, unripe bananas that are sliced thinly and fried until golden brown.

The process of making Kerala banana chips begins with selecting the right type of bananas. The bananas used for making Kerala banana chips, Nendran bananas, are a specific variety that is less sweet than the ripe bananas found in most grocery stores. 

Our banana chips are fried in 100% pure coconut oil to give them their unique taste. The key to making our perfect banana chips is to fry them at the right temperature – too hot, and they will burn, while too cool, and they will be greasy and chewy. The fried chips are seasoned with a sprinkle of salt and packed with no other preservatives or additives. 

Kerala banana chips are enjoyed as a snack on their own and are also commonly served alongside rice and other traditional Malayali dishes. They are a staple snack in Kerala homes and form an important part of the traditional Kerala meals called sadhya that are served during festivals, weddings, special occasions, etc.
