Kerala Banana Chips Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 Cup Water
• 1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 4 Nendran Raw Bananas
• Oil for deep frying

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and trim the ends of the raw bananas. Make light slits on the skin, without cutting too deeply. Remove the peel using your hands. Lightly grease your hands with oil to prevent darkening your hands.

2. 2

   Soak the peeled bananas in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   After 15 minutes, gently scrape the bananas to smooth the surface.

4. 4

   Mix water, turmeric powder and salt in a small bowl and keep it aside.

5. 5

   Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium flame.

6. 6

   Slice the raw banana directly into the hot oil using a slicer.

7. 7

   Fry the chips on a medium flame, stirring occasionally, until they start turning crisp.

8. 8

   Carefully add 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric water to the hot oil. I used 1.5 teaspoons of turmeric powder for every half banana.

9. 9

   Continue frying until the sizzling sound reduces and the chips turn crunchy.

10. 10

    Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
