  How to choose plantain:

• Choose green ones not dotted or soft,these may spoil the texture of your chips.
• Peeling the skin may be little difficult but sure you can get it out without spoiling the plantain.

Ingredients:

• 1 plantain.
• 1/2 tsp salt.
• 2 tsp water.
• 1/8 tsp of turmeric.
• oil for deep frying.

How to cook plantain chips:

• Peel the skin off ,by giving a slit on two sides.Then remove the peel.

• Cut the plantain in to even thin slices.First i was worried the slices were too thin,but later it seemed like perfect.

• Mix water ,turmeric and salt together.Keep it ready.
• Add one batch of plantains to hot oil .Let it cook until the oozing sounds stops or the oil stops bubbling.
• Add a tsp of water mixture to oil.Be careful !! this will splash the oil out.You can cover it with a lid if you are really scared or want your stove to be less messy.

• When you no longer hear the sound ,take the chips out and drain it in kitchen towels.

• Repeat this process for the entire batch.
• Remember for the next batch  reduce the amount of water mixture because the oil has already salt in it,right?.
• Tada !!! Plantain chips is ready.Keep it in airtight container until use..
• oh !!! chips got over before you fry the next batch ?.Make a fresh batch like i did.

Note:

• Throw the oil away, because it is salted.
• You can add salt at last after frying but anyway u need to add turmeric to the oil?.
