Kaya varuthathu is a speciality dish of Kerala especially for traditional Kerala Style sadhyas.
After a long gap of blogging, today I am back with this traditional recipe of Kerala. This snack is loved by each and every one especially kids. During the Onam days,the making of these snacks will be another celebration in our kitchen,

Ingredients

1) Two Kg of raw plantain

2) 2 tablespoon of salt

3) One teaspoon of turmeric powder.

4) Oil to deep fry


Directions

1) Peel of the outer skin of raw plantain and immerse them in water for about 30 minutes.

2) Then pat it with a kitchen tissue.

3) Slice them into small round thin pieces.

4) Heat oil in a frying pan.

5) Mix the salt with water and keep it aside.

6) Add the slices of plantain into the hot oil in batches.

7) This is to prevent the sticking of plantain slices.

8) Stir continuously.

9) When the fries make a crisp sound, add the salt water into it  and  stir continuously.

10) When the popping up of water contents in the chips stops, take it out from oil and spread it on a tissue paper so that excess oil will be drained out.

11) Store it in an air tight container.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
