INGREDIENTS

2 raw plantains (green colour)

METHOD

To peel plantain, cut off the ends. Then using a peeler, slice the peel lengthwise from top to bottom, just enough to cut through the peel.Then use a slicer to slice the plantain.

Heat oil in a kadai,slice the plantain directly into the oil in low flame .Be careful when doing this,else you can slice them in a plate then drop them into the oil one by one.Deep fry them on both sides until the oil stops the oozing sound.

Remove them to a kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.

Add salt,red chilli powder and toss them well.
