FAQS

  1. How can I make spicy masala fries healthier?

    To make your spicy masala fries healthier, consider baking the potato chips instead of deep-frying them. You can slice the potatoes thinly, toss them in a little oil and your favorite spices, and bake them in the oven until crispy. This method reduces the amount of oil used and makes the dish lighter while still retaining flavor.

  2. What are some good substitutions for ingredients in the chips masala recipe?

    If you don't have fresh potatoes, you can use frozen fries as a quick substitute. For the spices, if you don't have garam masala, you can create a blend using cumin, coriander, and a pinch of cinnamon. Additionally, if you're looking for a vegan option, simply omit the tomato sauce or use a vegan alternative.

  3. How should I store leftover spicy masala fries?

    To store leftover spicy masala fries, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to eat them, reheat in an oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness, as microwaving may make them soggy.

  4. What can I serve with chips masala for a complete meal?

    Chips masala pairs wonderfully with a side of yogurt or raita to balance the spiciness. You can also serve it alongside a fresh salad or as a side dish with your favorite Indian curry for a complete meal. For a fun twist, consider serving it with a tangy tamarind chutney.

  5. Is the chips masala recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?

    Yes, the chips masala recipe is naturally gluten-free as it primarily uses potatoes and spices. Just ensure that the tomato sauce you use is also gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten as a thickening agent. Always check the labels to be safe.
