Ever Wondered How Your Favourite Banana Chips Get That Crunch? Watch This
A special banana slicer is fixed on the edge of the wok, and the peeled bananas are sliced directly into the hot oil.
Banana chips are a popular snack loved by many across the country. The crunchiness with a salty taste makes them hard to resist once you start. But how exactly are these delicious chips made? A viral video from Delhi shows the step-by-step process of preparing banana chips.
The clip was filmed at a shop called South Indian Hot Chips in Vivek Nagar, Delhi, where two vendors are seen preparing banana chips in large batches.
Here's How The Vendors Prepare Delicious Banana Chips
They begin with firm green bananas, ideal for frying into crispy chips, and carefully peel them before moving on to the next step. Next, one of the vendors pours a tin of oil into a big wok. A special banana slicer is fixed on the edge of the wok, and the peeled bananas are sliced directly into the hot oil.
With every press, thin, long banana slices drop straight into the sizzling oil. The vendors fry the chips until they turn golden brown. Finally, the cooked chips are taken out with a large strainer ladle to drain the excess oil.
The footage was shared online by a food vlogger with the caption: 'Banana chips lovers, this one's for you! Delhi mein ho rahi hai banana chips ki mass production – crispy, fresh & full of flavour! (Mass production of banana chips in Delhi). Ek baar try karoge, baar-baar yaad aayega! (Try it once and you'll keep remembering it.) Location: Vivek Vihar."
What Foodies Are Saying
Since it was posted online, the video has gathered more than nine million views. The comments section was flooded with different reactions.
One user commented, 'Believe me, guys, it's so tasty."
Another said, 'Bhai yeh toh daily khaata hun (Brother, I eat them daily)."
Someone else expressed, 'One of my favourite snacks," while a person noted, 'Surat mein bahut banta hai, aur yeh kaafi famous bhi hai (It's made a lot in Surat and it is also quite famous)."
Many just dropped heart emojis to show how much they love banana chips.
Are Banana Chips Really Healthy?
The crispy chips look undeniably tempting and are often seen as a healthier snack alternative. However, this belief was challenged by a man, identified as a doctor on his Instagram handle.

In a video posted in May, he burned two banana chips to demonstrate how much oil they contained. Within seconds, the paper beneath the chips was soaked with more than '20 oil drops." He claimed that, despite their healthy reputation, banana chips actually hold a significant amount of oil.

Madonna's emotional plea to Pope Leo XIV: ‘Please go to Gaza before it's too late'
Pop icon Madonna has made a direct plea to Pope Leo XIV, urging him to travel to Gaza to bring attention and relief to children caught in the ongoing conflict. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the singer appealed to the pontiff, stressing the urgency of the humanitarian situation. In her message, Madonna addressed Pope Leo XIV directly: Please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry. We need the humanitarian gates to be fully opened to save these innocent children. There is no more time. Please say you will go. Love, Madonna.' The singer stressed that political maneuvering is inadequate in the face of such suffering: 'Politics cannot affect change. Only consciousness can. Therefore I am reaching out to a man of God.' She made clear that her appeal was not about blame or political sides, adding: 'I am not pointing fingers, placing blame or taking sides. Everyone is suffering. Including the mothers of the hostages. I pray that they are released as well.' Madonna linked the plea to a personal milestone — her son Rocco's birthday. 'Today is my son Rocco's birthday. I feel the best gift I can give to him as a mother is to ask everyone to do what they can to help save the innocent children caught in the crossfire in Gaza.' She said her motivation was rooted in maternal empathy and a desire to prevent further loss of life: 'I am merely trying to do what I can to keep these children from dying of starvation.' The 66-year-old artist's message comes as aid agencies warn of worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, with limited access to food, clean water, and medical assistance. Her post amplifies calls from international groups urging immediate action to protect civilians — particularly children — in the conflict zone. Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff and the 267th leader of the Catholic Church, began his papacy in May. The Pope has spoken on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. During a Mass for the Jubilee of Young People in Rome last week, the Pope said: "In communion with Christ, our peace and hope for the world, we are closer than ever to young people who suffer the most serious evils which are caused by other human beings. We are with the young people of Gaza." he said.
