Banana Chips

Banana chips holds a very important place in Kerala sadhya & are the snack of Kerala..Happy onam!!!

I'm sure nobody requires a recipe for banana chips especially the malayalees & it is the inseparable part of the onam sadhya..It's served as a starter & then the curries are served ...It's crazy to make these chips @ home coz you can see these chips being made in every other corner shop in Kerala  or on highway in Calicut road,you'll find shops slicing the banana & deep frying it in coconut oil fresh & hot,pop them in the mouth ....& you'll won't be able to stop 😋 





The flavor is so tempting that it is so hard to stop eating especially when it's freshly fried... My favorite is the calicut chips...
Nowadays all are bit concerned  about the oil being used  so when i carve for banana chips i prefer making it at home, i make it safe by  using canola oil or any vegetable oil...Homemade banana chips try it....

Method : 




Banana chips are made from  nendran kai( Kerala banana)click the video for step by step pic👆 ..For the chips you need raw banana peel the skin ( don't throw away the peel can make thoran with it, soak in turmeric water & keep it in fridge use it the next day)  slice the banana thinly use the food processor or the slicer to slice the banana you get the perfect slice...

Rinse them well then immerse them in water add salt, turmeric powder & 1/4 tsp hing/ asafoetida / hing for 1/2 an Hr & transfer to a colander to drain the water completely... Pat them dry with a kitchen towel or tissue paper..

Heat olive oil or canola oil or coconut oil when hot add the banana slice  in small batches &  fry on medium flame keep stirring till crisp ..When you start stirring with a strainer you can hear the crackling sound when you stir that's it the chips are ready 
 Remove them from the oil & place them on a paper napkin.. Repeat with other slices.  




 When cool store in a airtight container... Enjoy!!!! 😋
