Raw Banana Chips Recipe Indian: Crisp & light Banana Chips

Raw Banana Chips Recipe is one of the deep-fried recipes which are crispy and spicy in flavour. They are made with kacha kela or aratikaya.

Unlike any other wafers, Raw Banana Chips Recipe can be made a bit thick or thin like wafers, in both conditions, they taste great. The only difference is that it takes time to cook for thick wafers.

It is one of the popular South Indian evening snack consumed along with tea. Also, kele ke chips can be made with fewer ingredients, the only thing is that you need to have the patience to deep fry.

Oil temperature plays an important role while making this recipe if the oil is hot chips turn its colour even before they are being cooked, so we need to fry them at medium temperature and stir continuously so that they are cooked evenly and at the end, you get thin and crispy wafers.

South Indians like to have traditional recipes as their evening snack, unlike western countries they like to avoid potato chips and like to make their own Crisp and light Homemade Banana Chips Recipe.

When it comes to potato chips, to get perfect colour and taste we need to choose the right variant or else they turn black even before they are deep-fried. But in our case, although we slice thin or thick we get good colour along with crispiness.

TIPS to make perfect Raw Banana Chips:

• Bananas must be put in milk, asafetida mixed water so that they do not become dark.
• Greasing your hands with oil will keep your hands non-sticky while slicing a banana.
• While deep frying spread chips while dropping with hands and do not rush to put slices as they stick and do not fry properly.
• Coconut oil or Palmolein oil gives good taste rather than sunflower or olive oil.
• We can add turmeric powder while making spice powder or dip in turmeric water to get yellowish colour.
• We need to slice a banana with chip slicer so that we get thin slices which give crunchy flavour.
• To the temperature of the oil, put one chip in the oil, if it floats and changes its colour slowly then the oil is ready to deep-fry.
• We need to store Raw Banana Chips Recipe in an airtight container only when they are cooled.
