Shallow fried plantain chips

The original recipe is from here . This is a pretty easy and yummy recipe to make. To those of you who do not know what a plantain is...its the green banana you see near the vegetables. The Indian variety are small...may be 6-8 inches where as the Mexican or American variety are pretty bug. I used the Indian plantain for this
