Plantain Chips are super crispy and absolutely delicious deep-fried chips made with raw plantain. If you are looking to know how to make plantain chips at home, then this is the recipe for you. They taste so amazing and I bet you won’t stop at a few once you start eating them.
Plantain chips are my favorite snacks of all South Indian dishes and being a Northie they would always fantasize me. We had a Keralite friend in college and every time she would go to Kerala for holidays she had to bring the coconut oil fried plantain chips otherwise no one would talk to her.
The flavor of coconut oil makes them more interesting and delicious. If you have plenty of coconut oil at home then go ahead and try frying the chips in that and you will see the difference.
Before making plantain chips at home I was buying them from the store and they were always so expensive. As my girls love this super easy bite-size snack and they love munching them I am now making the chips at home only.
I have some homemade potato chips recipe on the blog which tastes just like the store-bought ones, do not forget to check out.
My fellow blogger Valli has Oven Baked Potato recipe which is perfect for guilt-free snacking and if you happen to like zucchini then these Zucchini Chips from Pavani’s are for you.
