Banana chips

Banana chips are an easy snack. Vegan, gluten-free and kid friendly. Great during travel and as a party starter too.

There are many wafer center in Mumbai which make them fresh day in day out. I loved buying them back home. Most of them run by Malayalis. There is a local Kerala chips center in each suburb.I love those chips, potatoes,tapioca,plantains and fryums.

All in different variants of spices.With red chilli powder or black pepper. With our without spices. As spicy as possible and as bland as you need too. They are great to eat during long bus or train journeys when your mind is just idle. Call it junk but sometimes it is the best pick me up.

Now that I do not have an easy access to those banana wafers,I simply make mine at home.

If you do not like them fried,make baked banana wafers.If drying banana chips are not possible,Dehydrating banana chips are an option.This happens if you don't have enough sunlight especially in winters.This is an all-weather recipe.
