Notes

  • Make sure to fry only in medium flame. If flame is low then the chips may turn soggy.
  • My slicer makes very thin slices just like wafers so each got done in just 2 mins. Keep an eye else it will burn easily.
  • Make sure to be a safe distance as while adding turmeric water it may splutter sometimes.
  • You can even slice in a plate then add to hot oil if you are a beginner. Keep hands at a safe distance while slicing. Before when I started 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 to frying nendran chips, I am frying directly in hot oil.
  • Always keep the nendran bananas immersed in water / salt water to avoid darkening 
  • Use a slicer that gives thin slices
