1. Pick The Right Bananas

The key to crispy banana chips is using firm, unripe bananas. They have lower sugar content, which keeps the chips crunchy instead of soft.

2. Slice Them Thin

Thin slices = crispy chips. But here's the catch: they need to be evenly sliced. This ensures they cook at the same speed.

3. Give Them A Saltwater Soak

Soak the banana slices in salted water for a few minutes. This removes excess starch and keeps the chips from clumping together while frying.

4. Pat Them Dry

Once soaked, drain the water and spread the slices on a cloth. Pat them dry-this step is a lifesaver because it stops the oil from splattering while frying.

5. Fry Like A Boss

Here's the trick: don't overcrowd the pan. Add a few slices at a time & fry on low to medium heat. This keeps the chips perfectly crispy without burning.

6. Season To Perfection

Once fried, it's time for the seasoning. Toss the chips with salt, black pepper, red chilli powder, or  chaat masala if you're feeling fancy.
