Some call it banana chips, others say plantain chips, call it what you like, I'm frying them!


Cut the tips off


Peel the outer skin. This and the tips are the only parts you cannot eat.



Remove this part of the skin carefully.
This can be cooked, so don't throw it away!
But that's another dish



Add a little salt, and turmeric in a bowl of water and mix well.
This mixture will be used to salt the chips 
while it is being fried in the hot oil 




Heat about three cups of vegetable oil, almost to boiling temperature.
I use the back of a cheese grater, 
and slice the bananas into the hot oil





***Please do this next step very carefully as the whole mixture begins to rapidly boil

When the banana is almost cooked ...
(you can tell when it gets firm)
... Add 2 teaspoons of the salt water mixture to the oil,
And mix gently.
This is how the chips get salted.


This is what it sounds like when you add the mixture to hot oil


Here is another high fibre recipe that uses the whole banana, 
including the skin 
(shown on the right side below)


Happy eating!
