Packed with flavour and spice, spicy chips are the perfect comfort food and ideal for snacking on whilst watching TV after a busy day at work. 

This masala chips recipe takes your normal average plate of fries to a whole other level. Make your own chips or fry up a batch of frozen fries.

However, you choose to make these spicy chips are delicious! Slather on some plain yoghurt and garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander.

I love eating spices and I will find any excuse to spice up any dish. Like everyone I am a huge fan of chips, but this recipe takes it to the next level. I create a spicy batter and then add the chopped potatoes before frying in the oil.

Make sure you don’t leave the batter to rest as this will cause it to become watery. If this does happen then just add some gram flour to thicken the batter back up again.

I usually use potatoes and make my own chips. You can use frozen fries if that is what you have on hand. The steps are all the same, minus the peeling and chopping of the potatoes that is!

Potatoes are one of those things that basically taste good in any shape or form whether it is an aloo tikki or in form of a curry or these yummy masala chips. There are so many types of potatoes out there and you can really be spoilt for choice.

I don’t really have a particular preference in potato use for this recipe as all taste great. I just use whatever I have on hand.

I use a wide variety of potatoes such as red potatoes, Maris piper potatoes, or King Edward potatoes. All these potato varieties are common in the UK and are widely produced.

If you live in the US or other parts of the world where you can’t find these potatoes a great alternative is Russet potatoes. No matter which potatoes you use these masala chips are a recipe that you must try.
