Homemade Plantain chips / Easy vazhakkai chips...

Vazhakkai chips or plantain chips as we call it is very easy to make homemade chips. Unlike potatochips this si so easy to make and needs no treatments.Just peel the skin, sliced and deep fry in the oil. After frying we mix with some salt and pepper powder but somebody use chilli powder also. Super easy right? My hubby often keeping it in the banana leaf sapadu when guests come home. I have kept this in my full meals part..

This chips comes out very tasty and so flavourful by itself.. It can be a snacks as well, you really can't stop eating just one.. My family finished this in fraction of time....
