Cuisine: Kerala
Time Required: 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
5-6 Nendrabale/Kerala Raw Bananas
Coconut Oil for Deep Frying
4 tsp Turmeric Powder
4 tsp Salt
Salt, Pepper, and Chili Powder for sprinkling after the chips are done
Method:
Peel the Bananas.
Cut into thin roundels.
Mix cold water with Turmeric Powder and Salt.
Immerse the Banana slices in this water for 10 minutes.
Sieve the Banana slices.
Heat Oil in a kadai/frying pan and deep fry the slices until crisp.
Remove on kitchen towel.
Sprinkle salt and pepper or chili powder.
