Masala Chips
Description
In this recipe, potatoes are peeled and sliced thick to create substantial chips. A batter is prepared from gram flour, cornflour, water, and a blend of spices including salt, garlic powder, chili powders, black pepper, and tandoori masala. The spices give the chips a distinctive masala flavor that goes beyond plain fried potatoes.
The chips are coated in the batter to ensure they are well covered with the spice mixture, then deep-fried in hot oil until crispy. The batter thickens as it cooks, creating a crunchy exterior layer around the tender potato interiors. Breaking the chips apart gently while cooking prevents clumping.
Masala Chips are commonly served with green chutney, which adds a fresh and herby contrast to the spice-coated fried potatoes. This recipe combines textured crispness, spicy flavors, and a satisfying snack appeal.
