Valakkai poriyal/plantain chips. Sliced bananas,
add turmeric powder,
plain chili powder and salt (all as needed).
Mix together.
Fry in batches till brown and crispy.
Store in air tight container.

Note: the thinner you slice the bananas, the better for crunchiness.
Sprinkle a little water when mixing to coat the bananas.
If you mix way earlier before frying, the sliced bananas will become soggy. So gently squeeze before frying.
