About Banana fry

Banana Fry, also known as Pazham Pori, is a popular snack from the South Indian state of Kerala. Made by dipping ripe banana slices in a batter of flour, sugar, and sometimes cardamom, the slices are deep-fried to golden perfection. Traditionally made with the native variety of bananas called Nendran, this dish combines sweetness with a crisp exterior. While rich in flavor, Banana Fry is calorie-dense due to its deep-fried preparation and added sugar, making it an occasional treat rather than an everyday indulgence. The ripe bananas provide natural energy, dietary fiber, and potassium, contributing to improved digestion and heart health. However, its high oil content can lead to excessive fat consumption. Balancing portion size and preparing it in healthier ways, such as air frying, can make this beloved snack fit more seamlessly into a balanced diet.
