Sharkara Upperi Recipe – How to Make Sharkara Varatti with step wise pictures.
Sarkara upperi is a kerala authentic sweet recipe made using nendran. This raw banana sweet is a must have on any marriage functions.
I wanted to make this recipe long time back. But somehow it was put on a hold. Few days back we harvested our first banana bunch from our backyard banana tree. It is nice big nendran variety. So took a bunch of those banana and made a large batch of chips as well as this upperi. It turned out super delicious and perfect, i had to blog it.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
