I woke up at 3am and feel hungry, so I am looking for snack, and eat this. Its a banana, that being dehydrated, then after it dry, fried with floor. in our local called sale pisang (Pisang = banana) No, I did not make these, I bought these. It usually made by home made industry which employ many women in its neighbourhood. So these housewifes can also have income without forgetting their main function as a mother and wife, as place their work is within their house surrounding. When we buy this kind of snack - means we also help this small enterprise and giving income to the lowest level.

We don't cook dried banana. We cut them into little rounds and dry them, then eat them as crunchy chips. Here is a bag of them I have. Banana chips. Photo is mine.

@Vree0937 I've never seen banana chips with anything on them before. I'm not sure I'd like them with anything on them.

banana chips
Oh yes, banana chips also available here. In many different taste : salty, sweet, honey covered or even chocolate cover. But I did not eat banana chips with chocolate cover as my son love them so much. Then, I do not eat that anymore, just for him. But dehydrated one is better actually, as there's no much process, so you got the same function as fresh ones

It is wonderful to support locals. This is the banana inside fruit, not the skin?

Talking about bananas, I'm enjoying boiled bananas but generally for snacks I look for something crispier.

I prefer fried banana over steam ones. Altough steam is healthier :-D

Rotten banana? Its fried banana, not rotten. And those ladies are a neighbourhood ladies, so they dont need to leave their house too long even tough they're working. Poor or not is objective

Home industries are good businesses. Less expenses. I like fried plaintains and banana chips

That does not sound very tasty to me. I like real bananas when I can get them. I guess things are different in Indonesia. In the US, women are not confined to the home. It would be culture shock for you.

I think you're the one that will be shocked how advance women in Indonesia. I am a corporate slave (person who climb their career in big & multinational company), so I travelled a lot, to many different countries. When I said housewife, it means like other house wife in USA, they need to takecare their children and husband, otherwise they should have nanny+helper if they're corporate slave like me. But by working in neighborhood, they can takecare heir children in morning, work in walking distance, can be at home again by the time children go home

exactly like fresh banana. If its ripe one, will be sweet. There's no add of anything - banana dehidarted, then fried with plain flour, just to make it crispy outside
