Often overlooked in favor of their yellow counterparts, ash plantains hold a special place in the traditional Sri Lankan kitchen. These firm, starchy bananas are particularly well-suited for savory dishes, especially for making perfectly crisp chips. If you're looking for a quick snack to enjoy with evening tea or a crunchy treat to serve at gatherings, ash plantain chips are an irresistible classic. With just a few simple ingredients and a short cooking time, this humble fruit can be transformed into a satisfying, naturally gluten-free golden delight. Let’s take a look at how to prepare it—step by step.
3 Gray bananas.
1/4 Teaspoon of turmeric powder.
1 Teaspoon of Curry powder.
1 Teaspoon of Roasted curry powder
1/2 Teaspoon of Pepper powder
1 Teaspoon of crushed chili powder.
1 Teaspoon of chili powder.
Salt to taste.
Coconut oil as need.
Now, remove the top peel of the bananas and slice them into thin round pieces. Then, wash them with salted water.
Next, add salt and all the required spices to the banana slices and mix well.
Next, take a pan and add some coconut oil. Place it on the stove and allow the oil to heat well. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned banana slices and fry them until they turn golden brown.
Once perfectly fried and lightly salted, these crispy ash plantain chips are sure to bring a smile to everyone. They are crunchy and flavorful, carrying a homely and comforting taste that reminds many of childhood memories. Whether enjoyed on their own, with a warm cup of tea, or stored in a container for later, these chips are a wonderful way to celebrate local ingredients in a simple yet delicious way.
