Haldiram’s Banana Chips
£2.25
Haldiram’s Banana Chips (and its variants), based on their product info and typical use:
What It Is
Banana Chips from Haldiram are thin slices of raw banana that are fried (or otherwise cooked in oil) until crisp, then seasoned. They’re a savoury snack — simple, crunchy, and often mildly salty or spiced.
There are a few variants, including:
-
Salted Banana Chips — mild, just salt seasoning
-
Banana Chips Yellow — plain or lightly salted, highlighting the banana flavour
-
Banana Chips Masala / Spicy / Tangy — with additional spice powders, flavourings like pepper, cumin etc.
Ingredients
From Haldiram’s own sources, some ingredient lists include:
-
Banana (around 55‑61 % depending on variant)
-
Edible vegetable oil / Palmolein for frying
-
Salt
-
For flavoured / spiced versions: Black pepper powder, cumin seed/powder, tomato powder, red chilli, mango powder, possibly citric acid etc.
Nutritional Info (Typical / Approx)
From product specifications:
-
The salted banana chips (plain version) have about 510 kcal per 100g.
-
Fat is relatively high (because they are fried), carbohydrates also significant.
-
Protein is low; fibre and sugar content vary depending on how ripe the banana is and whether sweet or tangy seasonings are added.
Taste, Texture & Experience
-
Crisp and crunchy texture; when fresh, the chips break with a satisfying snap.
-
Raw banana flavour is mild; in plain or salted variant it’s mostly about the texture and the contrast of slight vegetal sweetness with salt.
-
In masala/tangy versions, there’s a layer of spice / tang adding heat or sourness (e.g. tomato/mango powder) depending on the seasoning.
-
Oiliness is present but in good quality versions it’s balanced so they don’t feel overly greasy.
Usage & Serving Suggestions
-
Great as a snack on their own — munching with tea or drinks.
-
Can be part of snack mixes (mix with sev, peanuts, chana, etc.).
-
Useful for adding crunch to a bowl of mix or party platter.
-
Possibly paired with chutneys or dips if you like contrast (though not traditional).
Allergen / Dietary Notes
-
Vegetarian and often vegan (no dairy).
-
Check for possible cross‑contamination (nuts, other allergens) — some packing facilities handle multiple products.
-
Oil type: Palmolein is often used in many variants.
