About Chips masala

Chips Masala is a popular snack or street food dish originating from Kenyan cuisine. It features French fries coated in a spicy, tangy sauce made with ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili, turmeric, and a blend of aromatic spices. Some variations include fresh cilantro, lemon juice, or a dollop of ketchup to enhance flavor. While Chips Masala offers bold, satisfying flavors, its healthiness depends on preparation methods. Fries are typically deep-fried, making them high in fat and calories. However, the dish contains beneficial spices like turmeric and chili, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Tomato-based sauces provide a modest dose of vitamins A and C. Opting for baked or air-fried potatoes and moderating oil usage can make Chips Masala a healthier indulgence. Originating as a fusion food highlighting Kenyan innovation, this dish continues to gain popularity for its flavorful twist on a universal favorite.
