shilpa,
I tried them shilpa, i steamed the bananas, and with the help of prestige food processor, i ground it to a smooth paste, but forgot about the poha powder. But used half of the paste to make papads,i did not roll them , but pressed them with my palm on the back of a palin plate, sundiredthem, but the children who were playing in the terrace had finished them off before i could fry them.I have 2 3 doubts, should we use any special banana? should we make it so thin?
I used the rest of the paste to make parathas like alu paratha and they were divine.
We make podi with steamed banana. We make a powder of roasted toor dall, in oil , red chillies and hing and mix with the steamed ones, pl try they taste great and willbe helpful for ur urgent cooking. Thanks shilpa

Shilpa: You can use plantains (the ones used for cooking). Yes, they should be thin like any other papad.

Hi, Thanks forthis great recipe. I was loong for a jackfruit papad recipe. I could not find in any recipe site. Please let me know if yellow (ripe) jackfruit can be substituted for bananas. Thanks

yo……..I love them. I like halasina (jackfruit) happala too. Plzz post jackfruit appalam Shilpa if your Aayi knows about it.

Shilpa: Lakshmi, halasina happala is made on the similar lines as these. The problem is, they need a huge load of jackfruit, so we could not do it this time. Will surely post sometime.

I want to try all the sundried items. I remm having papad rice at some mangalorean home way back when i was small. It was amazing with lot of papad varities over rice and sprinkled with raw onion.. It was amazing!! Anways, I want to try all your sundried items and please keep them coming.. I am really looking forward to it.
Also : Just want to know if you have tried microwaving the same . Does it come out well?
Thanks
Sandhya

Shilpa: Sandhya, I have microwaved urad papad and they came out well. But I don't think microwaving will work for these, because these are slightly thicker. You can directly fry them on stove top, which I do for most of the papads.

Shilpa ….Keep posting sundried items, i guess all of us will be happy to see the authentic konkani recipes getting posted. I have eaten this kale happolo but never tried or bought it. I liked your idea of coating the rolling pin with the foil. Good pictures and step by step illustration too. Thanks
