This is an awe-inspiring snack from the traditional cuisine of kerala. Crunchy, deep-fried raw banana roundels are bathed in jaggery syrup and coated with powdered sugar to make a crisp and sweet snack with a rustic, traditional taste. The coating of powdered sugar enhances the mouth-feel of the upperi and gives it an appetizing appearance while spices like cardamom and dry ginger give it a wonderful aroma and taste. When you add the powdered sugar, it might be a little difficult to mix because the syrup starts solidifying, but still make a good effort and mix it well with a spoon. Once it starts cooling down, you can separate the pieces and coat each piece with your hands. After it cools down completely, store it in an airtight container. Upperi has a long shelf life.
