Notes
- Chips - I used frozen straight cut oven chips in the recipe, you can simply swap with fresh potatoes, sweet potatoes, French fries, etc.
- Oil - If you are deep-frying or shallow-frying the chips, use neutral flavour oil, like sunflower, canola, grapeseed or vegetable oil.
- Baking and air-frying option - You can air fry or bake in the oven according to packet instructions, spray or brush a bit of oil over the chips for an extra crispy texture.
- Curry powder - Use any of your favourite curry powder. We usually use Madras or TESCO curry powder for this recipe.
- Crushed Chilli flakes - You can adjust the chilli amount to your preference. If you prefer hot, add more chilli flakes or chilli powder. Or you can omit it if you prefer it mild.
- Tomato Ketchup - Use tomato ketchup to bring the sweet and tangy flavour. If you are using tomato paste or puree, add 1 tablespoon of tomato puree, 1 teaspoon of lime juice and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- Can you reheat masala chips? It tastes best when freshly cooked. I do not recommend to reheat but you can reheat with preheated air-fryer or oven.
- Servings - You can serve up to 4 people as an appetizer or sides.
