Raw Banana, Pink Salt, Groundnut Oil
“Kele ke chips – hard crunch, natural sweetness. Desk ka sabse acha snack.”
Our Plain Kele Ke Chips are made from raw Nendran bananas – the firm, starchy variety that produces the hard, satisfying crunch that regular potato chips cannot match. Sliced thin, fried in pure groundnut oil and lightly salted. The natural mild sweetness of the raw banana comes through alongside the crisp texture.
Banana chips have a longer shelf life than potato chips and maintain their crunch better after opening. A particularly good travel and desk snack.
Why Nendran variety?
Nendran is a firm, starchy raw banana with much lower moisture content than regular bananas. This means it fries to a harder, crisper chip without absorbing too much oil. Regular bananas are too soft and sweet for chips.
What oil is used?
Pure groundnut oil. High smoke point, neutral clean flavour that lets the natural banana character come through clearly. No palm oil.

Pro tip
Banana chips stay crunchier for longer than potato chips after opening. The lower moisture content and groundnut oil keeps them crisp for weeks in an airtight container.
Storage tip
Store in a cool dry place. Keep the pack sealed tightly after opening. Consume within 3 weeks of opening for best crunch. Do not store in the fridge - moisture will make namkeen lose crispness.
Plain Banana Chips are where freshness and banana variety together make all the difference. Nendran banana, groundnut oil, sendha namak - three ingredients. The Nendran variety is chosen specifically for its low moisture content which produces a harder, more satisfying crunch. Fried fresh in small batches. Long shelf life without any preservatives because the natural starch and low moisture are sufficient. No palm oil, no artificial anything.
