    Notes

    • Always use Raw banana for preparing the chips.
    • Adjust the salt and turmeric powder needed as per the amount of chips you are cooking .
    • For cooking the second batch of the chips less salt and turmeric powder needs to be added as the oil will already have Salt and Turmeric powder.
    • Allow it to cool down and then store in air tight containers.
    • If you cant find a slicer , Use a good knife and slice the banana into thin Strips.
    • If you are not able to source coconut oil , you can very well use and flavourless cooking oil for deep frying.
