Nendran Chips Recipe (Nendran Banana Chips) | Onam Recipes

Tweet

I have not seen many kids who are so specific in snacks too and the lil one is in the list. She is not fond of biscuits, cakes, sweets etc, she asks for cream biscuits licks the cream clean and reserves the biscuits for her mother ;) Though we dont make savoury snacks often at home, she likes ompodi and nendran chips very much. Whenever we visit perimmas house, she packs us nendrangai and we mostly end up making this chips for her sake.

Nendran Banana Chips Recipe - Ingredients

• Raw Nendran Banana - 2 nos
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
• Cooking / Coconut Oil - to deep fry
• Salt - to taste

Method:
1.Slit the banana skin and peel them off. Slice very thin and collect them in a bowl.

2.Add salt and turmeric powder. Sprinkle little water and mix well for the salt and turmeric powder to coat well and evenly on all sides. Then dry them in a cloth for 10-15mins.

3.Heat oil and carefully add the sliced pieces and deep fry them until crispy and light. Drain in a tissue paper and store in an airtight container.

Make sure the 'shh' sound stops and the chips is light and crisp before you take it out.

My Notes:

• There is another way to do this : Just add turmeric powder, salt in water and keep aside. Heat oil, add the sliced banana pieces and sprinkle the water directly in the oil - But to me this is not convenient as it splashes and emits a huge noise so I follow the above said method.

• If you are comfortable you can even slice it directly in oil as they do it in shops - but be very careful while doing this.
