Plantain Chips

Plantains are a type of banana that contain less sugar than the common yellow banana. They are prepared similarly to vegetables being either fried or cooked. They are not suitable for eating raw unless they are very ripe. Plantains are low in sodium and high in vitamin A, potassium, and fiber. Usually many of Tamilians prepare them as curries, my mom used to prepare chips from plantains..its very simple n tasty side dish for many rice dishes r else just as snacks with hot coffee r tea..
