Spicy Banana Chips

Spicy banana chips are a delightful, crispy snack made from raw, unripe bananas (often called plantains) and a mix of bold spices. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Preparation:

Raw bananas are peeled and sliced into thin, even pieces, often with a mandolin for consistency.

The slices are deep-fried in hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Seasoning:

After frying, the chips are coated with a spicy seasoning mix that usually includes:

Red chili powder for heat.

Black pepper for an extra kick.

Salt to balance the flavors.

Garlic powder, turmeric, and mustard seeds for additional flavor depth.

Some variations may include a dash of tamarind pow
