Kaipola

Kaipola, also known as banana cake or steamed plantain cake, is one of the most authentic Malabar dishes. The dish is a sweet combination of egg and banana. Kaipola, the quick and easy recipe, is a specialty of Kerala, most specifically among the Muslim community in the state. It is known to be made during the Ramadan month and served during the Ifthar parties. The best part is that the recipe is not only very tasty but very easy to prepare. The ingredients for making Kaipola are very few and can be made with ingredients that are available readily at home. The dish is also often served for breakfast or relished as an evening snack. Ripe bananas when shallow fried taste exceptionally delicious and imparts the necessary sweetness to the dish. Kaipola is highly nutritious, rich in flavor and extremely yummy. Try this quick and easy recipe whenever you want to treat your taste buds with something extraordinary!

According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Dear Shaan, I have one doubt. Is this need to turn other side? If it is so please mention time also.

    Suresh, No issue in cooking Kaipola by turning both sides. If so first side you cook it for 15 minutes and the other side for 5 minutes.

Shaan, do you have to use any particular variety of banana that is available only in Kerala or will any of them do?

    Ranjith, Yes, we need to use ripe plantain to prepare this dish.
