Masala Chips
Description
This recipe starts with preparing potato chips or fries by baking, frying, or air frying them until crisp. Meanwhile, onions are sautéed briefly in neutral oil until translucent, then combined with a mixture of curry powder, paprika, cumin, garam masala, black pepper, salt, garlic, and ginger. Tomato paste and ketchup are stirred in and simmered gently to form a thick, fragrant sauce. The cooked chips are then tossed in the pan with the spiced mixture to coat evenly. The finished dish is garnished with finely chopped chili peppers and fresh coriander for added heat and brightness. The masala coating complements the crisp or tender texture of the chips depending on cooking method chosen.
