Banana Chips Recipe Ingredients: - 4 green bananas - 2 cups water - 1/2 tsp salt - 1 tbsp turmeric - Oil for frying Instructions: -Peel the green bananas carefully to avoid any bruising. - Slice the bananas into thin, even slices. Using a mandolin slicer can help achieve uniform thickness, which ensures even cooking -In a mixing bowl, combine the water, salt, and turmeric. Stir the mixture well to ensure the salt and turmeric are fully dissolved. - Add the banana slices to the bowl and mix thoroughly, ensuring that each slice is well coated with the mixture. - Let the banana slices soak for a few minutes in the mixture to absorb the flavors - Remove the banana slices from the mixture and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving crispy chips - Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of banana into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface. - Carefully add the banana slices to the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. - Fry the banana slices until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. - Remove the chips from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil - Immediately sprinkle the fried banana chips with a little more salt while they are still hot for extra flavor Tips and Tricks: - For a sweeter variation, substitute the turmeric with a tablespoon of honey in the soaking mixture and replace the salt with sugar for seasoning after frying. - Once cooled, store the banana chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy. - Keeping the oil at a consistent medium heat is essential to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. - You can experiment with different seasonings such as cinnamon for sweetness or chili powder for a spicy kick Enjoy your homemade banana chips!
