Nendran (banana) chips

Nendran banana chips are the stable snacks of kerala state in india, no one can ever perfect the art of nendran chips making like people from kerala... Usually my kids and my lovely sister like it, so store brought chips are no prepared in good oil so we just prepare it at home in easy way... 

I love the way its cooked and serve hot on a cold rainy day, the climate keeps every one or atleast me in an imbalanced diet one day it's cold and the other day its hot and sizzing.. Yup, like any other cold day I felt like munching something crunchy then I pulled out a few bananas from the pantry to make chips. 

It is easy to make and needs no treatments. just peel of the skin, slice in a deep fry in oil. super easy right?  This chips comes out very well and tasty and so so flavour ful by itself. It can be best snacks for your kids they really cant stop eating just one. My sister finished this in one time.. itself... and she always have to eat this chips in her collage hostel so he asked my amma to make this. And it is lot better than the store bought chips....

I dedicated this recipe to my lovely sister !!!!!!!
