Banana Chips - Delicious Snack
A home-style Kerala dish made with care and the kind of spice knowledge that comes from watching someone else cook it a hundred times. Each step matters, and the result is worth the effort.
Ingredientsfor 5 servings
- 3 nos Raw plantain
- Oil to fry
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1/2 cup Water
Preparation
Step 1
Peel of the plantain skins and immerse them in a bowl filled with water for 10 mts.
Step 2
Get the plantains out of water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Make thin slices(round ones) with a vegetable slicer.
Step 4
Mix turmeric and salt to 1/2 cup of water in a bowl and set aside.
Step 5
Heat a wok with oil enough for fry in hot oiling.
Step 6
Once hot, add few slices at a time(don`t over crowd the pan as the oil temperature can drop and slices won`t cook evenly).
Step 7
When slices are cooked( the color changes and when touched with a spoon it won`t break apart)sprinkle a handful of turmeric water in the pan.
Step 8
The oil is sure to bubble up, but do not worry, it comes down soon.
Step 9
Once the sizzling and bubbling sounds are over, using a slotted spoon take the chips out and drain the oil in paper towel.
Step 10
Repeat the above steps (1-8) for rest of the batch.
