Notes

    • Make sure to use unripe nendran banana.
    • Always keep the nendran bananas immersed in water to avoid darkening, you can even keep immersed in salt water too.
    • Make sure to drain water completely while removing it from soaked water.
    • Always in medium flame. If flame is low then the chips may turn soggy.
    • My slicer makes very thin slices just like wafers so each got done in just 2 mins. Keep an eye else it will burn easily. Use a slicer that gives thin slices.
    • Make sure to be a safe distance as while adding turmeric water it may splutter.
    • If you are a beginner slice in a plate then add to hot oil. Keep hands at a safe distance while slicing. Earlier I used to slice in a plate then add them to deep fry, but we need to be careful as it tends to stick easily. Now after getting used am directly slicing in hot oil.
    • The timing may differ depending on the thickness of the chips.
