  • Keep stirring till the oil bubbles minimise and the frying sound becomes less. Pour two teaspoons of water mixture to the oil. it gives out bubbles and noise for a while and settles down. Transfer the chips to a bowl.
  • Repeat the process with the rest of the slices. For the next lots decrease the amount of water mixture while adding to the oil since very time it absorbs salt. This chips tastes too good when done with semi ripened banana.

I am a native of Kanyakumari district, brought up in Tiruchirapalli, and settled in Tirunelveli. I started exploring cooking at the age of 15 and learned a variety of recipes from my two grandmothers, friends, aunts, mother, and mother-in-law.

Cooking is, of course, my passion. I work as a teacher, and my colleagues love to receive recipes and tips from me, just as I enjoy learning from them. My son and husband encourage me to experiment with and innovate new dishes."
