Plantain (aratikaya) chips


I have spoiled the picture again by adding chili powder. I cannot live without chili powder. If only salt is added it gives a beautiful yellow colour.
Preparation time: 20 min.

Ingredients:

Plantain- 2

Red chili powder or pepper: 1 tsp (optional)

Cumin powder: 1 tsp

Oil for deep frying

Salt to taste

Method:

Clean & peel the plantain.

Cut them into round pieces.

Add chili pd, cumin pd and salt to a mixing bowl and place a lid on it.

Heat oil in pan.

Deep fry the plantain pieces.

Once they are done, fry them again for some more time until they become crisp.

After removing them from pan, immediately add these chips to the mixing bowl. Keep the lid and shake the bowl well. Salt and pepper will be well coated to the chips.

This step is important. There should not be any lapse in adding the chips to the bowl.
