Tapioca chips
A Malayalee delicacy, made from thin wafers of Tapioca root fried in coconut oil, salted and often spiced. Widely available in north Kerala and parts of North India. High in carbohydrates, it is nevertheless a crunchy and tasty snack. The chips are crunchier than banana or more easily available potato chips. Common variants include the non-spicy and spicy (red chilli powder and other spices added).
The chips are also used as traditional welcome snacks.
