Plantain Chips
Plantain tree is the most useful tree, every part of it could be used in one way or the other... Stem to Plantain peels are used in one way or the other in cooking or as an aid for cooking... Plantain Chips are a staple snack of Kerala State in India, no one can ever perfect the art of Plantain Chips making like people from Kerala... I love the way its cooked and served hot on a cold rainy day, the climate keeps every one or atleast me in an imbalanced diet one day its cold and the other day its hot and sizzling... Yup, like any other cold day I felt like munching something crunchy then I pulled out a few Plantains from the pantry to make chips...
Ingredients:
Raw Plantains - 2-3 nos.
Turmeric Powder - 1 tbsp
Salt to Taste
Water
Cooking Oil for frying (Coconut Oil brings out the best of the flavors)
Method:
Peel the green skin off the Plantains (you can reserve them to make subzi out of them, there is hardly anything to waste from a Plantain tree). Slice the Plantain into thin rings and sprinkle Salt, Turmeric Powder and Water and mix well.
Heat Oil in a pan and fry the Plantains in batches, Coconut Oil heats up pretty quick. Stir in the spatula a coupla time not letting them to over cook and brown, turn the Plantain rings so both sides cook evenly.
Using a perforated Spatula drain the chips off the Oil and lay them on a kitchen tissue, remove the excess Oil. You can Microwave the chips thus making it more healthy, for about 10-12 mins @ 350 Degree F.

Your chips look really great. I used to watch banana chips being fried on the streets of Matunga in Mumbai and wonder how they make it so thin and crisp and sigh that I could never get them right. Thanks for your recipe, will try it sometime.

Hello Mrs.Ramya,
Nice recipes, could u pls cum down to india and cook all this for me...:P

My favourite chips. We soak the peeled plantain in turmeric water for couple of hours to get the yellow color. Looks crunchy and nice click dear:).
Ramya this time am not gonna whine and crib as I just got a few raw ones this weekend from the Indian Store..now all I need is the will power to make them..these were my all time fave munching buddies. Love your pics and will try it out and let you know how they came out.
I make it in the microwave whenever I feel like eating it-but,it doesn't taste anything like the one's deep fried in pure coconut oil!!
This recipe brings back so many memories! I used to have these all the time as a child but haven't had any in forever. I will have to make these sometime - thanks for sharing the recipe :)
We normally buy these in bags so it would be great to make homemade. You cooked them perfectly - it takes a good cook to make chips!
The chips look lovely and real crisp too
Looks perfect and delicious.
perfect banana chips! these are one of my favorite snacks :))
