Kerala style ethakka kaya nurukku upperi recipe

Crispy kaya nurukku special snack of onam

Kaya nurukku or quartered banana chips is the traditional snack of kerala. We used to prepare kaya nurukku before 2-3 days of onam. Nostalgic memories of our neighbor aunty and family, my little effort of helping them for preparing kaya nurukku and sharkkara upperi. Old good days.
kaya nurukku recipe is so simple and easy. We can prepare this within 30 minutes at home itself. It is always better to fry the chips in coconut oil to get a nice aroma. Kaya nurukku goes well with black tea. Hope you will like the recipe
