About this dish
Unnakai (also called Unnakaya, Kai Ada, Unnakka, and Kai Porichathu) is a spindle shaped sweet dessert made chiefly of banana. It originated from the Malabar region of India, and is often eaten at weddings, Iftar and other festivities. Unnakai belongs to the Mappila cooking of the Malabar coast. The Nendran is the plantain most grown there, and it holds a settled place in Mappila households.
