I think there is so much variety in fruits that man never needs meat. If you know your gadgets well, you can get so much to eat whether its snacks or something sweet. Bananas definitely are the best fruit one can get. They do not need to be washed. Grow in abundance and are natural source of energy. While the ripe ones are perfect for smoothies, ice creams custards and eating raw. Green ones or Raw plantains are perfect for snacks. Plantain is an ingredient you will love once you try it. Be it yellow banana chips or cutlets, or kofte it will not disappoint the snacking junkie. You can even make amazing food out of blossoms. Serving food on a banana leaf, just brings out the juices out of even a serving of hot rice. I think it is a plant which can be utilized totally.

can you eat banana chips while fasting?

can we eat banana chips in navratri fast? The answer is both yes and no. These days you get all kinds of fasting chips. You can also make it easily at home by using the right ingredients. However it is not a part of detox restrictions which are followed during strict fasting. Hence, it depends on the health of the person doing fasting. If you cannot do a strict fasting, eat something which is still homemade and made with ingredients you can eat during the fasting period.

I still feel eating homemade chips is better than market based as you tend to make them fresh and also know what goes in your dish. All you need is some rock salt or sendha namak. You may make different varieties. Add amchur/dried mango powder to some while mint to others. If you like them hot, add kali mirch/black pepper to it.
Spices like red chilli powder, normal sea salt, garlic are not eaten during vrat or fasting. But you can add them on other days.
You can cut banana pieces in shapes you like. Long flakes or circular. This crunchy recipe is so quick to make. Nothing better than it to make your day!

Easy and breezy!

Notes

The chips should be sliced with the thin slicers,too thick slices won't cook as crisp compared to thin slices.

You may add any flavor of your choice like peri peri, lemon, oregano, garlic. However, these flavored ones cannot be eaten during the fasting period.

Another variation is to soak the raw plantain chips in turmeric water (for 1 hour) ,drain the excess water and then air fry them.(similar to above air frying steps)

FAQs

Why banana chips are not crispy?

If you over crowd the chips while cooking, they will get soggy fast. Also, ensure they are thinly sliced.

While the making of kela chips can be vrat compliant,if you are fasting for detox, you should stay away from market based ones.Eat homemade variety in moderation if you cannot stop yourself. Eating whole banana instead is more filling and beneficial.

Yes, banana chips are either deep fried or air fried.
