In a bowl, take ½ cup water and add 1 tsp salt to it. Dissolve the salt in the water and keep the salt solution aside.

Heat sufficient oil in a pan for frying the chips.

Make incisions on the banana skin, lengthwise, at equal distance, all around the banana, taking care not to pierce the banana within.

Trim both edges of the raw banana and remove the peel.

Using a slicer, slice the bananas directly into the hot oil.

Allow the banana chips to cook for a few seconds and then add 1 tsp of salt water solution.

Let the chips cook for a few more seconds, stirring with a slotted spoon.

Cook the chips on medium flame until they turn crispy and the spluttering sound stops completely.

Remove the banana chips from the oil and drain on absorbent paper.
