Chips


Slice raw banana very thinly.Extremely thin.Take a bowl with enough water to cover the cut bananas.Add about a tea spoon of turmeric in that,and salt too.You should add salt according to your liking.Even if you happened to add a little more,dont worry because you will drain the water after about 5 minutes.Take a plate and put a paper towel in it and spread this bananas on that paper towel.Then heat oil(i use canola).When the oil is realy hot,add one by one.Make sure there is enough place for the bananas to float around.When they start turning slightly brown take them out and spread on a paper towel.This time is important,take them out fast or else it will be burned.Another way to check if the chips are ready, is to check the oil.If they are ready the oil will not make bubbles and the bananas would have a papery /rustling feel when you try to take them out.Some people sprinkle salt after its done.Some people put a piece of turmeric in the oil till the frying is over ,to give the chips color.Hope this helps:)

wow. so should the plantain be really raw, or is a bit ripe ok? it's hard to get really raw ones here.

hey bee,sorry for being late in replying.raw is great,slightly ripe is not bad either.if its more than that,then it will taste a bit sweeter:)
