Salt1tsp
Coconut oil or any cooking oil for frying



Method

                           Remove the top and bottom portion of the banana and make a long slit on the skin with a knife and peel the skin.
After peeling the skin wash the banana,wipe it with a tissue paper and slice it into thin slices using a slicer.Mix the salt and turmeric powder with 2tbs of water,keep aside.
Heat a heavy bottom pan with the oil in a medium flame and deep fry the slices till the sizzling sound stops.At this stage sprinkle 2 tsp of salt water to the chips.

  • The banana should be sliced evenly to get a nice crispier chips.
  • Fry one layer of slices in the oil,don't add add too many slices,otherwise the chips won't cook properly and get crispy.
  • Instead of using coconut oil any cooking oil can be used,for the flavor 2tbs of coconut oil can be added along with the oil.
  • If you want to spice up sprinkle some chilly powder or black pepper powder after drained it from the oil.
  • Do not peel the skin with the peeler and don't reuse the oil,it will be salty.
