Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make Masala Chips
Oven Chunky Chips or Chunky fries - Any Frozen Oven Chips will work in this recipe to speed up the process. I love using Mccain chips. However to make it from scratch, follow the process, use Vegetable oil or Olive Oil Freshly minced Ginger Garlic is what I have used. You could also use storebought ginger garlic paste for convenience. Onion - I prefer to use diced white onion in this recipe for masalawala chips. Again it is entirely up to you if you like diced or sliced onions. This will also decide the cooking time. Also, you could use red onions too, if that’s what you have handy. Passata Sauce is also also known as Italian sieved tomato puree. Its smooth and made with ripe tomatoes. You could swap with Tomato Paste or fresh tomato puree. Spice Powders - I have used Ground cumin, Ground coriander, Chilli powder, and Garam masala to make these Indian flavored chips. Salt to taste. Lemon Juice or Lime Juice - either of them will work. Coriander leaves - Do not skip the coriander leaves. They add the fresh garnish to the chips Chaat masala is a spice blend available in Asian grocery stores.
