Description

The Chheda's Long Masala Banana Chips are one of the most popular and classic variants from the Chheda's brand, distinguishing themselves from traditional salted banana chips through their shape and bold Indian seasoning. Here is a detailed description: 1. Product Base and Shape Base Material: Made from thinly sliced raw or unripe green bananas. The chips are deep-fried, adhering to the traditional method of making banana wafers. Shape & Cut: The term "Long" is the key physical descriptor. Unlike the smaller, circular, or semi-circular chips common in the "Yellow Banana Chips" variant, these are typically made from a lengthwise slicing of the banana, resulting in chips that are often longer and more rectangular or sliver-like. Texture: They are known for their hard, dense, and satisfying crunch. They are sturdier than potato chips, with a texture that is less airy and more substantial. Appearance: They are usually a reddish-brown color due to the masala seasoning and the deep-frying process. 2. Flavor Profile: Masala (Spicy and Tangy) The "Masala" flavor provides the signature chatpata (tangy and spicy) taste, setting it apart from the mildly sweet and salty "Yellow Banana Chips." Spice Blend: The seasoning is a rich mix of Indian spices. Key components typically include: Red Chilli Powder: Provides the direct spicy kick. Ground Spices: A blend of Cumin, Coriander, and other warming spices for depth. Tanginess: Often features Dry Mango Powder (Amchur) or Black Salt (Kala Namak) to achieve a pleasant sour/tart edge, which is essential for a true masala or chaat flavor. Sweetness: The chips retain a subtle underlying sweetness from the banana base, which perfectly balances the heat and tanginess of the masala coating. 3. Ingredients and Oil Main Components: Raw Banana (typically around 65%), Edible Oil (commonly Palm Oil), Salt, and the Masala Spice Blend.
