Total time:
Serves: 1 big bowl
- 2 Nendran raw banana/nendra baalekayi/plantain
- ½ Cup water
- 2 Tsp turmeric
- 1 Tsp sea salt/table salt
- Coconut oil/Sunflower oil to fry
- Wash and wipe the plantain/raw banana
- Chop off the ends
- Score the banana (i.e. make slits) along the skin without touching the inside part (it is easy you will get a feel for it)
- Now remove the skin along the scored lines and pat the banana dry with a paper towel, heat oil for frying
- Mix salt and turmeric
- Add enough water and mix to get an yellow salted solution
- When the oil has heated up, directly slice the peeled banana using a mandoline, this will prevent sticking of the banana slices
- The chips start cooking and bubbling up in hot oil, fry on medium heat
- After about 40-50 seconds, carefully add few teaspoonfuls of yellow salted turmeric water
- Keep frying, chips turn yellow and salted
- Once the chips turn crispy, drain them onto paper towels
- Serve crisp, enjoy!
You can also add black pepper powder or red chilli powder for some extra kick
If you not have a mandoline you can slice a few and quickly add to hot oil for frying
Do NOT fry on high heat
Store in airtight container until stocks last!
