FRIED PLANTAIN CHIPS

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
A pinch of salt
A pinch of pepper
4 unripe green plantains or bananas
4 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garam masala, smoked paprika, salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the plantains into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Pour the oil into a large, heavy bottomed pot and heat it to 350 degrees F. The oil level should come one-third of the way up the sides of the pot. If there is too much oil, it will overflow when the chips are added. Alternatively, use a deep-fryer.
  • Fry the plantain slices in batches in the hot oil until crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir them a bit while they fry to prevent them from sticking together. Remove the plantains and drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the spice mixture and serve.
  • Alternatively, the plantain chips can be cooled and stored in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
