Notes
- Nendran Banana - Make sure to use unripe nendran banana. Choose slightly thick ones. Always keep the nendran bananas immersed in water to avoid darkening, you can even keep immersed in salt water too. Make sure to drain water completely while removing it from soaked water.
- Slicer - My slicer makes thin slices just like wafers so each got done in just 2 minutes. Keep an eye else it will burn easily. Use a slicer that gives thin slices.
- Slicing - If you are a beginner slice in a plate then add to hot oil. Keep hands at a safe distance while slicing. Earlier I used to slice in a plate then add them to deep fry, but we need to be careful as it tends to stick easily. Now after getting used am directly slicing in hot oil.
- Frying - Always fry in medium flame. If flame is low then the chips may turn soggy and not crisp.
- Turmeric water - Make sure to be a safe distance as while adding turmeric water it may splutter.
- Time - The timing may differ depending on the thickness of the chips.
