The reason behind sharing this recipe is because making banana chips is one of my best vacation memories as a kid.
Every year I visit my grandma's place. She'd grown a banana plant/tree in her garden that was for the time I saw a banana plant it is so unique and different from other plants, being curious lil kid I never waited for bananas to ripe so my grandpa use to pluck those nice raw bananas for me and we use to make chips out of them. Though banana plant is difficult to maintain but the fruits are worth it.
Do you know banana plant is also called as " kalp taru" in sanskrit means wish granting tree. Each and every part of banana tree is useful.
Another reason to love banana tree is as a kid I always admired and have grown up seeing that huge banana forest that my grandma's neighbor had owned it.
