Kerala Style Banana Chips

Cultural Context

Originating from the southern Indian state of Kerala, banana chips are a beloved snack made from the Nendran variety of bananas. Traditionally served during festivals and special occasions, they are a crunchy delight that embodies the tropical flavors of the region. Today, they are popular not just in India but have also found a place in global snack culture, often enjoyed as a healthy alternative to potato chips.

Slice the bananas thinly using a plain blade knife or a mandoline.

Fry the banana slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan until hot, then check with one slice to see if it fries well.

Once crispy, remove the chips using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil.

8

Immediately sprinkle salt and turmeric water over the hot chips for flavor.

For traditional style, you can also grate the bananas directly into the hot oil to avoid sticking.
