After soaking, slice the bananas into thin, even pieces.- 5

Now prepare salt water by mixing salt with a little water and keep it aside.- 7
Heat oil in a deep pan. Add the banana slices and deep fry them until they turn golden brown and crisp.- 8
Just before taking the chips out of the oil, lower the flame and carefully sprinkle 2–3 teaspoons of salt water over the chips. Stir gently to coat them evenly.- 9
Remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container.- 10
