Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 raw Kerala long bananas (Nendran banana or Chengalikodan)
- oil as needed to deep fry
- salt to taste
- 1/8 tsp turmeric powder
- water as needed
Instructions
- Take the bananas, wash and wipe them dry. Make a thin slit on the outer skin and peel the bananas.
- Keep the bananas immersed in turmeric water, so that they do not change color. Get the salted turmeric water ready in a bowl by adding ¼tsp of turmeric powder and required salt to 1 cup of water.
- Heat up oil in a frying pan. Once the oil becomes hot enough for frying, slice the bananas directly into the hot oil, using the mandolin slicer.
- Do not overcrowd the pan. Once the required quantity is sliced into the frying pan, sprinkle a handful of salted water on the frying banana pieces.
- Reduce the flame to medium and fry the banana slices till the bubbles die down and the 'shhh' sound stops.
- Drain onto a paper towel. Transfer to an airtight container once it cools down.
