This Nendran Banana Chips is mittus all time favorite.I love coconut oil flavour the best.I have not seen many kids who are so specific in snacks too and the lil one is in the list. She is not fond of biscuits, cakes, sweets etc, she asks for cream biscuits licks the cream clean and reserves the biscuits for her mother.Though we dont make savoury snacks often at home, she likes ompodi and nendran chips very much.She fondly calls it yellow banana chips.
Whenever we visit perimmas house, she packs us nendrangai and we mostly end up making this chips for her sake.I have always seen her slicing the chips directly in oil effortlessly.
So kattanchaya(black tea) and nendran chips ready for evening teatime 🙂
Why is my chips not crispy?
- If flame is low when you slice the chips, it will become soggy and will not turn crisp.Discard the batch put flame to medium then add next batch.Adjust flame accordingly.
- Chips will drink more oil too if the flame is not perfect.So always adjust flame accordingly.

Notes
- Make sure to fry only 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.
- Make sure to be a safe distance as while adding turmeric water it may splutter sometimes.
- You can even slice in a plate then add to hot oil if you are a beginner. Keep hands at a safe distance while slicing. Before when I started 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 to frying nendran chips, I am frying directly in hot oil.
- Always keep the nendran bananas immersed in water / salt water to avoid darkening
- Use a slicer that gives thin slices
