Many of us miss masala chips.I remember how i used to save and look forward to go to Exotica near the jamia mosque nairobi for a plate of masala chips.
Ohh and the waiter who used to clear the plates while singing ..’haya ukishamaliza odoka..’
In mombasa you can get masala chips at Blue room.
this is  a recipe that someone posted on the internet about 8 years ago.if you have tips on how to make better plate of masala chips please feel free to add your comments..
Masala chips recipe
Ingredients:
1kg bag oven Fries
2 large onions or 3 medium onions, sliced long
1 can of crushed tomatoes (or 5-6 large fresh tomatoes, crushed)
10-15 medium sized cloves of garlic
2-3 heaped tbsp chilli powder
1-2 tsp salt
5-6 tbsp tomato ketchup
Coriander, chopped
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven and cook the fries as per instructions on the package. Make sure that the fries aren’t too crispy.
2. Crush the garlic very finely, ideally with a mortar and pestle. Add the chilli powder and salt and mix well to form evenly mixed “chutney”. If you like your food spicy, go heavy on the garlic and chilli powder.
3. Add 4 tbsp of oil and fry the onions till they are softened and very slightly browned.
4. Add the garlic paste made in step 2 and stir consistently for about a minute and a half.
5. Add the tomatoes and turn to medium heat; stir constantly for about 10-12 minutes or until oil appears on the side of the pan.
6. Add the ketchup and stir.
7. Add the fries, turn the heat down and mix thoroughly. Leave on the element for another 10 minutes or so.
8. Garnish with liberal amounts of coriander, the more the better.
Serving suggestions:, Masala chips  can be eaten alone, but another option is with burgers or pita stuffed with salad.
