Banana wafers are a popular snack in India. They're basically a sweet, crispy snack made from bananas that have been dried and then fried in oil.
The best part about banana wafers is that they're super easy to make at home. You can even make them with your kids, so it's a great way to get them involved in the kitchen!
Here's how:
Step 1: Peel the bananas, then cut them into thin slices and lay them out on paper towels to dry overnight or until they are completely dry. You may need to flip them once or twice during this process so both sides dry evenly.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat up some oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 400 degrees F). Add the banana slices in batches (do not overcrowd the pan) and fry until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 5 minutes per batch depending on how thick your slices are and how hot your oil is. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving warm or allowing to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or 3 months in the refrigerator (they'll harden as they cool).
