Detailed Recipe

Ingredients

Raw Bananas: 3 medium-sized
Oil: for deep frying (or air frying)
Salt: to taste
Turmeric Powder: ½ teaspoon
Red Chili Powder: 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
Cumin Powder: ½ teaspoon
Black Pepper Powder: ½ teaspoon (optional)
Rice flour: 1 tbsp
Semolina: 1 tbsp
Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon (optional)
Chaat Masala: for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

Preparation:
Peel the raw bananas and cut them into thin, uniform slices or sticks.
Soaking:
To remove excess starch and prevent browning, soak the banana slices in water for about 10-15 minutes.
Drying:
Drain the water and pat the banana slices dry using a kitchen towel.
Seasoning:
In a bowl, mix the banana slices with salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, semolina, rice flour, and black pepper powder. Toss well to coat evenly.
Frying:
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the banana slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Finishing Touches:
If desired, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chaat masala for added flavor.
Serving:
Serve hot as a snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
