Masala Chips

Masala chips are a unique Kenyan dish that consists of french fries dipped in a very delicious sauce. The sauce or paste is made of tomatoes, onions and different spices.

I love my french fires drenched in this sauce.

Prep time: 7 minutes

Cook time: 23 minutes

Servings: 3

You will need:

7 medium-sized potatoes, cut into chips

2 cups vegetable oil

1 large onion

1 large tomato

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon ginger & garlic clove minced

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons garam masala

Cilantro, chopped for garnishing

Procedure:

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or a deep fryer and fry the potato chips until crispy

Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil, add onions. Cook the onions for a minute then add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook the tomatoes for another minute then add the turmeric, curry, ginger & garlic, cayenne and garam masala.

Cook the ingredients until they are well combined and starting to thicken. Add a splash of water to make the sauce more

Turn the heat to low, and throw in the chips. Toss them around so that the sauce/masala covers them properly

Turn off the heat, garnish with cilantro and serve. Enjoy! :)
