7 Easy Steps to Make Crispy South Indian Style Banana Chips

Step 1

Peel the raw bananas carefully using a knife. Be cautious as the sap can stick to hands.

Step 2

Using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife, slice the bananas into thin, even rounds.

Step 3

Soak the sliced bananas in water with a pinch of salt for 5-10 minutes to prevent browning.

Step 4

Heat coconut oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 5

Carefully drop the soaked banana slices into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy.

Step 6

Remove the fried chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Sprinkle salt, turmeric, and chili powder (optional) over the chips. Allow them to cool before serving.
