An Indian home made Snack-Banana chips \/ Banana crisps ????<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Banana  chips are quite a famous snack in Southern part of India, and they are healthier alternative to the potato chips.These are easily available in stores in India, and even in UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have seen the sweet versions in the superstores, and the regular savoury version in Asian stores (in the UK), but I’m sure the store options have preservatives, and loads of sodium , high levels of unsaturated fats and a large amount of calories.Not so healthy for a healthy snack! Isn’t it ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I wanted to try these at home, to make a healthier version. Though the amount of calories will be high in the home version as well, but anything home cooked, is way much better in terms of taste and nutrition than the store bought versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried both the fried and the baked versions. I have not achieved great results in the baked version , so as of now I’m following and sharing the fried version only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found many recipes for banana chips on the internet, and liked quite a few. I tried making these at home 2-3 times to perfect these, and these were really easy to make, and turned out really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana Chips -Version for Navratri snack or fasts and festivals ????<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Banana chips are something that can also be had during fasting period – during navratri fasts<\/em>.You can make a big batch of these a day in advance and store them in airtight containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For fasting. instead of regular salt, you can use rock salt, and add no turmeric (if you do not use turmeric during fasting)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana chips also make a great kids packed lunch treat????<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are also a great snack for kids, and can be added to their packed lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below I have suggested different seasonings that can be added to alter the taste of the chips as per your liking. There is a sweet version specifically for kids:)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Banana chips \/ crisps at home- Cooking instructions ????\u200d????<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For making banana chips, you would need a  few raw banana’s , also called plantains, or green bananas, along with some oil to fry these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authentically in south India, banana chips are fried in coconut oil, but if you do not cook in coconut oil, or do not prefer the taste of coconut oil, you can use the regular cooking oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would still recommend, making these in coconut oil, as it is much more healthier option, and of course it enhances the flavour of the chips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry, you will not get the typical coconut oil smell, but yes the coconut oil does add to the taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Which coconut oil i use ? ????<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I use EV , cold pressed organic Vita coco coconut oil. This is easily available in any of the grocery stores, or even amazon<\/a>.
