Raw Banana Chips Recipe | Vazhakkai Chips Recipe

Raw Banana Chips Recipe | Vazhakkai Chips Recipe with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. This is such an easy and tasty chips made from unripe banana/vazhakkai. Unlike, Potato Chips, this recipe does not require any pre-preparation work like rinsing well to remove the starch content, resting in ice water or drying, just it requires a good slicer to make thin chips. I simplified the work more, by directly slicing the raw banana in the hot oil, in this method the chips wont get stuck to each other. But if you are not comfortable in this method, slice the raw banana separately in a plate and drop it one by one, which takes a little time, but the output will be the same in both the process. If by chance, the chips becomes soggy, to make it crispy again,I have shared a method in the tips section, so friends read the recipe till the end.

But if you are not comfortable, slice it separately in a plate and drop the slices one by one (watch my video for more clarity). Don’t overcrowd the oil, fry it batches only.
• Fry well on both sides, once the shhhhh sound ceases, take the chips out of the oil. Adjust oil temperature from high to medium, not low. The oil should not fume at any stage.
• Drain it in a kitchen towel.
• When the chips is warm itself, sprinkle with salt, pepper powder and toss it well. Store it in a dry and airtight container.
