ZUCCHINI CHIPS

Crispy Zucchini Chips - A healthy friendly snack and light in calories.  These chips are very easy make and it is very healthy too.  I never heard about zucchini until we moved to Australia and I just started loving it.  My friend Sheela often make this zucchini and my sister in law Aarti too.  Aarti taught me "Dhal Zucchini" and I have posted earlier in 2015.  This recipe is same like banana chips which I yet to post in my blog.  Zucchini is the best source of dietary fiber that will keep your body in the best shape for the long run.  It also contains vitamin A, magnesium, folate, potassium, copper and phosphorus.  As like our potato chips this will go well with sambar sadham :-)

INGREDIENTS:

Zucchini                - 2
Red chilli powder -  as needed (I used 1/4 tsp)
Salt                       - as needed
Oil                        - for deep frying

HOW TO MAKE:

Wash zucchini and wipe it well without any moisture.  Cut the edges and and start slicing with your slicer.  Make it very thin as shown in the pic.  Place it on the paper towel and with one more towel gently touch to remove extra wet.  This is coz to consume less time when frying.

Heat oil in a kadai and put a bunch of zucchini for frying.  Keep in a medium flame so that it will fry evenly.  Stop frying until the bubbles sound ceases and until turn golden brown.  Repeat the same for the rest zucchini slices.   Drain it on the paper towel to remove excess oil.  

Once fried all the zucchinis take it in a big bowl and sprinkle red chilli powder and the needed salt. Toss it well, cool down and store it in airtight container. 

TIPS:

Pepper powder can be added instead red chilli powder.  

Asafoetida can be sprinkled for an extra flavour. 

Always cook in a medium flame so that the chips will get cook evenly.
