What are some savory banana applications?
Fresh fried Indian style banana chips are incredible with just salt.

However, I have had some from Kerela that were spiced with pepper as well, they were quite tasty. It could be a lot of fun to play with Indian and Thai spices.

I could see these in the role of a garnish, or as an alternative to potato chips or fries.
