    Kerala nendran banana chips

    Nendran Chips is a crispy Kerala special snack prepared with Kerala raw banana |  Nendran. Addictive yellow banana wafers can be easily made at home if we few tips & tricks.

    Chose right raw banana

    A regular small banana might not yield the same taste as Kerala nendran banana. Always use long green raw nendran Kai for this recipe. If you are going to make a big batch of chips. Peel one by one just before frying.

    Should I immerse the raw banana in water?

    I generally don't immerse them in water. Since we directly slice the raw banana in hot oil it is safe to avoid soaking them in hot oil. To avoid browning, heat oil then keeps the raw banana ready.

    Chose the right slicer?

    For the best thin and crispy chips always slice them with a slicer. If you cut them with a knife the thickness might vary. I used a slicer from India. You can use a mandoline slicer and slice them thin.

    Can I slice it and keep it ready?

    If you are a beginner you can slice them and keep them on parchment paper. Carefully add hot oil and fry. In that case, the chips might turn slightly brown. also, there is a high chance of spilling so be careful.

    HOW TO CHECK IF THE OIL IS AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE?

    Check the oil temperature by adding a small slice of the raw banana. If the raw banana comes up gradually and steadily on top, the oil is hot enough to fry. If it comes up too quickly, then the oil is too hot. Simmer and adjust to the right temperature. If it settles down at bottom of Kadai or comes up very slowly, the oil is not hot enough, so increase the heat.

    Tips to slice is hot oil 

    Check oil temperature before slicing. Always keep the slicer far from oil. Keep the slicer in a slanting position, and slice carefully.

    Turmeric - salt water

    For the perfect Kerala-style chips, you need to add turmeric salt water while frying. Carefully add little by little just as required.

    Tips to make crispy chips

    • If the flame is low when you slice the chips, the chips might not turn crisp. Also, chips might turn oily
    • If the raw banana pieces are thick chips not be crispy 
    • Add turmeric salt after a few seconds
