Spicy Long Banana Chips


             I have already shared golden banana chips. Today sharing another style of banana chips. Try it for yourself !!




Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes (for each frying batch 5-10 minutes)


Ingredients:
  • Raw Banana

  • Turmeric Powder
  • Oil for Frying
  • Water
  • Red Chili Powder

Method:
  • Peel a raw banana with a knife.
  • Take a bowl full of water. Add 1 tsp salt & 1 tsp turmeric powder to it.
  • Immerse the peeled banana in this turmeric water for 5 minutes.
  • Now slice the peeled bananas in very thin & long slices using a slicer.
  • Heat oil in a kadai. Keep the heat on a medium flame. Put each banana slice in the oil one by one. Don’t stir often.
  • Let them get fried for 5 minutes or so on low to medium heat. Once you see the golden color of the chips, remove it from oil & put them on a paper napkin to soak the extra oil. Immediately sprinkle some salt & red chili powder over the fried chips until they are hot.
  • Store them in an airtight container.

Tips:

Fruit Cream



                 Fruit cream is a very simple dessert !! At the same time, it is very healthy since it is full of various fruits. It is also perfect for any party dessert. Just make it ahead of time. You can also have it for your fasts (upwas).  

                 Below is my recipe for fruit cream.




Ingredients:
  • Fruits of your choice like apple, mango, banana, grapes, pear, strawberry, etc
  • Sugar to taste
  • Fresh cream
  • Cashewnuts
Method:
  • Take fresh cream in a bowl.
  • Chop any fruits of your choice in small pieces. Add these chopped fruits to the bowl of cream. Mix.
  • Also add cashewnuts to it.
  • Add sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the fruits. Stir well.
  • Now cover it & chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Serve chilled !!
Tips:
  • If adding banana to the fruit cream, add just while serving, otherwise it goes black & is not that appealing.
  • You can also add icecream with the fruit cream if desired !!
  • Do refrigerate for 1 hour atleast so that the flavors get enhanced.
