Sharkara Upperi, or jaggery-coated banana chips, is one of Kerala’s most iconic sweet snacks. Made using ripe Nendran bananas, these chips are fried in pure coconut oil and coated with a thick, glossy jaggery syrup. Each chip delivers a perfect balance of sweetness, crunch and natural banana flavour.
The process begins with selecting good-quality bananas, which are sliced and fried until crisp. The jaggery syrup is then prepared with cardamom and dry ginger, giving it a warm aroma and authentic Kerala taste. The chips are mixed with the syrup until each piece is evenly coated, resulting in a deliciously crunchy sweet snack.
Sharkara Upperi is a festival favourite in Kerala, especially during Onam and Vishu. It pairs well with tea, coffee, and also works as a snack for gifting and travel. Many choose this sweet banana chip because it offers a natural sweetness without artificial sugar additives.
At Mallu Vibes, Sharkara Upperi is prepared using traditional recipes and small-batch methods to ensure freshness. No artificial colours or preservatives are added, making it a wholesome, homemade-style snack.
