I hit half century today! Woohoo!! :)) Never knew I would come this far!! :) So today's post is an all Malayali's fave snack... Banana chips!! It is for sure that each Malayali carries atleast one pack of it when he/she goes out of Kerala! I used to carry min 1.5 kilos everytime I went to my hostel... loved munching on it :) And I still do :)
It might seem difficult to make these at home...but they are not and they taste 200% better than store made or even freshly fried from local shops. Once you are bitten by the home made taste then you will never buy from other sources.
Homemade Banana ChipsThe way my mom makes
Ingredients:
Raw bananas
Oil
Water
Salt
Turmeric powder(optional)
Method:
- Peel the raw bananas and leave it in water for 1 hour.
- Heat oil (deep frying) and when it is real hot slice the bananas directly into the oil.
- Stir slightly so that they dont stick together.
- You can add salt and a pinch or two of turmeric into it at this stage. ( we don't add turmeric and we add the salt later otherwise we might not be able to use the salty oil later)
- Fry till it's nicely yellow on the outside and crisp looking. Taste in between :D
- Drain them on kitchen towels. You can add salt at this stage too and toss them well.
- Store it in airtight tins.
Try this and be sure to get addicted! :) It's a perfect all-time snack! Let your mouth keep munching all the way!! :)
Happy Friday everyone!! :)

Congrats! I love the idea of homemade banana chips, so much cheaper than buying them at the store.
Wow Ria..the chips look excellent:):)..Amma used to make it in bulk during Krishnashtami where we have a custom of sending truckloads of goodies to the married-daughters house[in this case-ME:)].Banana chips is one of her superhit dishes.Thats a great tip of using salt at a later stage.
I loved the idea of chips in paper cones..Yumm...I could munch on it forever..:)

One of my fav chips apart from chakka varthathu is banana chips. Have some doubts teacher :)
why do u put the banana in water?
2)will the oil not crackel and plutter when u chop wet plaintain into it?
Thats another good one ria...have to make this someday...my mom makes it exactly the same way, but she doesnt soak it in water....she washes it off after peeling and then wipe the excess water off. She also mixes salt and turmeric with little water and sprinkle it in oil when it is being fried.....Adipoli....
very interesting. should the bananas be ripe or unripe? i'm thinking unripe because they probably can't be too soft.
Chips looks so tempting !! Drop by
