  • Salt- 3/4 to 1 tsp
  • Red chilly powder- 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
  • Cooking oil- Enough for deep fry

Instructions

Method

  • Trim the edges of bananas and peel the skin off using peeler.

  • Using a slicer make very thin slices of raw banana and drop them into piping hot oil. Then keep the heat at medium flame.
  • Turn over and deep fry the banana chips till they become crisp and light. When the chips slightly change color, using slotted ladle remove them from oil and drain on kitchen tissue paper. Repeat slicing and frying process with rest of the bananas.
  • Sprinkle salt, red chilly powder and turmeric powder on the chips. Toss them well so that each one gets coated well with spices.
  • Addictive snack raw banana chips are ready. Serve them as evening tea time snack.

Notes

  • You need to slice the raw bananas batch-wise. As you slice them, drop in to hot oil for frying. Do not slice all bananas together. The slices should not rest for too long.
  • Alternatively, if you are comfortable you can slice the bananas directly in to hot oil. But be careful of your hands exposed to heat.
  • The oil should be piping hot to drop the chips, otherwise they become soggy.
  • You can replace red chilly powder by pepper powder for different taste.
  • Once the chips cool down to room temperature, store them in airtight container.
