BANANA CHIPS (KELA KACHRI)

INGREDIENTS

4-5 Green Raw Kerala Bananas(Nendra Kai)
2-3 tbsp salt mixed in a cup of water to form salt solution
Edible oil for deep frying preferably coconut oil
Chips grater

METHOD;

Make long cuts with a knife on the bananas so that the slit pierces only the skin of the banana and not the flesh.Now it is easier to peel off the skin (it is not as easy as a normal banana,if needed you might have to use the knife).
Once t he bananas are peeled immerse them in a bowl of water and keep aside.
Meanwhile keep oil in a big kadhai or a heavy bottomed vessel for deep frying.
Before grating the bananas dry them using a cloth or a paper napkin.
Keep the salt water solution and the chips grater ready.
When the oil is hot grate the banana using the chips grater directly into the oil.
When the chips are yellow and start floating in oil or appear a little crispy lower the stove flame to the minimum and put 2-3 tsps of salt water in to the kadai(be very very careful as the oil splutters )
Fry till all the spluttering of the oil stops and chips are ready.Take it out of the oil and put it on a paper napkin to remove the excess oil.
Follow the above procedure for the remaining bananas and chips are ready to be eaten.
