Caramelized Plantain Chips

Ingredients:

Plantain 1
Jaggery 3/4 Cup
Ghee 1/4 tsp
Oil for Deep Frying

Method of preparation:

Peel and chop the plantain into circles.
Soak the chopped plantain circles in water till necessary.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium low heat.
Strain the plantain circles and carefully drop them into hot oil.
Deep fry the plantain chips until they turn crisp and light golden in color.

Heat a pan on medium heat, add jaggery, ghee and 2 Tbsps of water.
Bring to boil and let all the jaggery melt.
When the syrup thickens and turns more like honey, remove from heat.
Test drop the syrup in a bowl of water. If the syrup forms a somewhat hard ball when it touches the water, its done.

Stir in the deep fried plantain chips and cool to room temperature.
Break any big chunks into individual pieces and store tight in a jar and serve caramelized plantain chips as a snack.
