I just love banana crisps...but always bought them at the supermarket.Since I had time and some green bananas I chose to satisfy my cravings at home!

Steps

45 min

1

Peel the green bananas and place them in salty water as you peel the rest
2

Rinse the peeled bananas and shape them.I used this kind of grater to get the long shape
3

Place some water in a bowl with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon tumeric.Let these to soak for about 5- 10 min. Meanwhile heat the oil for deep frying.
4

Remove the bananas from salt/ tumeric water and pat dry with a paper towel.
5

Line a bowl with paper towels.
6

Deep fry the bananas in 4 batches in the oil before it gets too hot.(If the oil gets too hot the crisps will quickly get a brown colour with a distant burnt taste).
7

Deep fry until nicely crisp and place them in the bowl with paper towel.Enjoy as a snack at home or on the road.Store the cooled crisps in an airtight container...it will keep for days!
