• Heat oil in a big kadai.
• Take a vegetable slicer and start slicing the plantain directly in hot oil.
• Finish one plantain at a time into hot oil.

• Stir well, after a few minutes you should hear the nice crackling sound, that is when they are done.
• Now sprinkle dissolved salt water ( 1 – 2 tsp at beginning you must reduce the quantity later. ).

Note :

• It would be good if you apply some oil on your hand, plantains discharge a gluey serum that is both hard  to get off the skin and also gets between your nails.
• Don’t discard skin of the plantain you can prepare tasty dish (stir fry, Upkari) from this .
