Ingredients for Upperi (Sharkara Upperi)
Raw Plantain – Use raw plantain also often known as kerala nendran (raw variety) to make upperi. Deep fry plantain on low medium heat till crispy for best taste and shelf life.
Jaggery – I prefer to use dark cane sugar (pahu vellam) for higher taste and texture. The jaggery has to coat the banana in a thick shell like texture.
Rice Flour – Rice flour makes the upperi less sticky when it’s stored for an extended time frame.
Spices – spice powders like dry ginger powder, cardamom powder and cumin powder is used.
Hope you’ll give this a try to let me understand how it seems for you.
