Vegetable fries are what we Konkani’s have along with rice. These are usually prepared during the monsoon season since pappad’s will not be available during this season. These vegetable fries replace the pappad’s then.
Category: Pappads and Fritters
No lunch or feast is complete without pappads/fritters. It is usually served at the end of a meal. Some people like to have pappad crushed in the rice along with curry or some just take a bit of it in between or even some like to have the pappad along with the payasam served at the end of the feast.
We Konkanis prepare a variety of pappads like the one with pepper corns, with chilli powder and pepper corns, with jeera alone etc etc…….then you will also find jackfruit pappad (slightly sweet), tapioca pappad etc etc,,,,,If you ever visit Manjeswar you will even get beet root papad, palak papad as well. Since I am dealing with South Kerala recepies I will not be writing much on these types of pappads,
Coming to fritters, you will see that during rainy season instead of pappads you will be served fritters along with rice. Tapioca fritters, tapioca peel fry, Kelya sali (Banana peel fry), etc etc…..we just never let anything go waste……
Hope you will read my recepies and try them out. Leave your comments as well……
You have some left over rice in your kitchen and you do not want to throw it. What next? Read the recipe and prepare the dish for your family and surprise them.
Thick sweet potato chips (Chinni kanga daat balook) is a sweet and salty dish. We Konkani’s have it along with rice. You can have it as such as well.
Dried tapioca peels (Kappiya Sali sukkaeylili) can be fried as and when you require and serve it along with rice instead of pappad or happolu.
If you are frying some banana chips at home you can use those peels you can use those peels to prepare the dish. Nanderbalae Kelya Sali thaleli go well with meals. You can use them instead of pappads.
