Heat oil on low flame for frying.

Mix 1 teaspoon salt, 5-6 teaspoons lime juice, and 1/3 cup water in a bowl.

Set aside the mixture to let the salt dissolve.

Use Kerala bananas (also known as Surti bananas) for making chips.

Wash the bananas thoroughly before use.

Cut the top and bottom off each banana and make a shallow cut in the peel without cutting into the banana.

Peel the bananas by hand, ensuring no peel remains on the banana.

Once the oil is hot, increase the flame to high.

Place the sliced bananas in the hot oil, pressing them down slightly to ensure they fry evenly.

Reduce the flame to medium-low and add 1 teaspoon of the salt and lime juice mixture to the oil immediately after adding the bananas.

Fry the chips, flipping them occasionally, until the bubbles in the oil reduce, indicating they are done.

Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate to drain excess oil.

Repeat the process with the remaining bananas, ensuring to heat the oil to high before adding each batch.

Store the finished banana chips in an airtight container for up to 25 days.
