Frequently Asked Questions
What does sarkkaravaratty mean?
In Malayalam, sarkkara refers to jaggery and varatty loosely means something fried or coated. Together it describes these jaggery-glazed banana chips.
Is it very sweet?
It is noticeably sweet from the jaggery, balanced by the warmth of ginger and cardamom, so a few pieces go a long way.
Why does the coating sometimes feel sticky?
Jaggery can absorb moisture from the air. Store the chips in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot to keep them crisp.
