Love chips but struggling to prepare them at home? Here we have listed 6 different hacks for frying homemade chips the right way. 

1. Add Ghee

Worried about chips sticking to each other while frying? Add a 1 tsp of ghee in the water used for soaking potatoes. It works wonderfully!

2. Use Salt & Lemon Juice 

To retain the white color of banana chips while frying, add a pinch of salt and lemon juice to the oil used for frying. It will also enhance the taste of these chips.

3. Baked Chips

Looking for a healthy version of homemade fast-friendly chips? Try preparing chips using sweet potatoes. Avoid the deep-frying stage and bake these in a preheated oven. Before baking, make sure to drizzle a dash of peanut oil and sprinkle some sendha namak. These are crisp, delicious and comparatively low on calories.

4. Use Arrowroot Powder

Firstly, prepare a batter with these ingredients: amaranth flour, arrowroot powder, salt, black pepper, and green chilies. Dip in thin slices of raw banana and deep fry the fritters. Here the addition of arrowroot powder helps crisp up the chips and is completely fast-friendly.

5. Tip For Quick Frying

While preparing potato chips, wash them in room temperature water. After washing, use a kitchen towel and dry the potatoes. Potatoes loaded with moisture bring down the temperature of the oil and result in increasing the frying time. So make sure to dry them to enable quick frying.

6. How To Reduce Absorption Of Oil

Here we have listed two different ways to ensure that your chips do not soak up excess oil while frying : 

• Before frying, make sure to wash and dry the potatoes well. Post that sprinkle some singhara atta and toss. Deep fry. The coating of singhara atta prevents the fries from absorbing excess oil.
• You can also add a pinch of salt to the oil.
