Crisp and bright yellow coloured authentic Kerala special banana chips or plantain chips
Ingredients
  • 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
Method
  1. Wash and wipe the plantain/raw banana
  2. Chop off the ends
  3. 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)
  4. Now remove the skin along the scored lines and pat the banana dry with a paper towel, heat oil for frying
  5. Mix salt and turmeric
  6. Add enough water and mix to get an yellow salted solution
  7. When the oil has heated up, directly slice the peeled banana using a mandoline, this will prevent sticking of the banana slices
  8. The chips start cooking and bubbling up in hot oil, fry on medium heat
  9. After about 40-50 seconds, carefully add few teaspoonfuls of yellow salted turmeric water
  10. Keep frying, chips turn yellow and salted
  11. Once the chips turn crispy, drain them onto paper towels
  12. Serve crisp, enjoy!
Notes
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!
