Ooty varkey is a crispy vegetarian snack that is native to the Nilgiri district in Tamil Nadu, India. The varkey is named after Ooty, the popular hill station in the region.[1] It is made from wheat flour mixed with mava along with ghee, vegetable oil and spices. Mava is made of banana, rava, and sugar.[2] There are more than 90 bakers in the region who manufacture the same.[3] In 2015, efforts were initiated by the Ooty Bakery Owners Association to obtain a Geographical indication.[4] Ooty varkey was accorded GI tag in 2022-23.[5]
