Whenever Banana Chips are made, that day,myself a newly married girl enjoying the Virundhus,meaning dinner,something special for the newly married couple, nearly 3 decades ago flashes in my memory.That day is so fresh in my memory as I was astonished to see my " Chinna Mamiar "( junior mother in law, that means my mother in law's co-sister) prepare banana chips with ease, directly scratching the chips in oil.
My junior MIL is an adorable character and a highly accomplished lady with an undying interest in all fields, right from cooking to music.A soft spoken lady with a unique smile that radiates her face is simply loved and respected by one and all.
Ingredients :
Raw Banana 2
Oil
Chilly Powder / Pepper Powder
1 tsp. of salt mixed with 3 tbsp. of water.
Method :
1. Peal the raw bananas and cut them into 2 parts.
2.Heat the oil.Once the oil becomes hot, scratch the bananas using a chips cutter
directly in the oil See that the oil in not dumped with the slices more than it can
hold. If they are too much,the slices stick to each other and the chips will not be crispy.
3. Stir well and when the bubbles are likely to disappear, sprinkle just 1/ 2 tsp. of salt
water and stir well. Remove from the oil,once the bubbles totally disappear.
4. For the subsequent set of chips to be scratched in the oil, reduce the quantity of salt
water as already the oil is salty.This method of sprinkling salt water in oil makes the
salt mix uniformly with the chips.After all the chips are ready,mix with chilly or
pepper powder.
Note :
It is better to use a chips cutter that can bring out thin slices of chips.I always prefer thin
slices as they get cooked fast and the quantity is also more. It is better to avoid the cutters used for Bajjies as the slices will be thick.
