Curried Chips ?

[retrocop]

Whilst the memsahib is away I shall indulge myself with a simple dinner this evening ,for a change ,involving chips. Chips are frowned upon here :-(
I usually do saute pots or wedges in my Air fryer with added garlic powder and smoked paprika.
I intend, as always, to put the peeled and sliced chips in a plastic bag and spray a little lite oil on them. I am now considering sprinkling a light dusting of Madras curry powder on them as well prior to cooking. Any one tried this flavouring idea on chips before. They will be accompanied by Cypriot Pastourma grilled sausage which are quite spicy in their own right so I wouldn't use paprika or chilli on the chips in this instance. Any thoughts?

Sounds a good idea, retro. Go for it!

I've not done it with chips but have with fried potato cubes, lovely :)
Give it a go!

Retro, not tied it but I think it would probably be better if you made a thin paste with Madras and shake it with the chips in the plastic bag.

Not madras,but my local Chinese does a "tray of chips and curry sauce" which consists of chips in a plastic tray covered in curry sauce (shocker) and it's absolutely delicious. Potato and curry always go well together. Madras crisps (opposed to chips) would be delicious so why not chips?

The problem may be that the spices will taste "uncooked" or may even burn, and taste bitter...you'll have to try and let us know.

I reckon not much can go wrong. Danny. I was thinking a light spray of oil in order for the sprinkling of powder to stick. I think a masala would be too much.
Well I'll suck it and see, as they say. The memsahib always accuses me of being a stickler to the recipe and not adventurous enough. Not entirely true. I will report back with an honest appraisal if I survive. :-)

A very good point. May be sprinkle the curry powder on toward the end of the cooking time. I take your point about burnt and bitter spices.

[ummmm]

I don't eat chips often so go the full shebang and deep fry them.

The majority of chips/wedges done like this use Garam Masala with a little turmeric and paprika added, a rounder flavour than madras.

Mmmm, sounds delicious Retro, Wednesday here in mince and leek dumpling night with mustard mash, I'm even doing some for my lovely hairdresser ,he's married to a chef but his husband can not make fluffy dumplings so I David I would take them some for their tea, in the oven as I type

[Mamyalynne]

^ correction - cayenne not paprika.

[Bobbisox1]

David? PAH!
Should read said , lol

Sounds good.

I make a marinade with yogurt, lemon juice and Olive oil, and spices. Depends if you want them cover or just dusted.

Memsahib frowns upon deep fat fryers.That was a compromise. The fat fryer goes and I get the air fryer instead. I think my cooking of Bombay duck in the deep fat fryer saw that one end up on the tip.
She didn't appreciate the smell of it all over the house. Said she could smell Bombay Duck for weeks. :-)
I like your idea of Garam Masala with Cayenne Mamyalynne. I have all of those spices. Thank you.

[ummmm]

I'm going to have chips for dinner now!

[retrocop]

Gromit. Just dusted as though they were coming out of a bag of crisps.

[Bobbisox1]

I gave my air fryer to my sister in law Retro, we hardly eat chips or roasties and was just taking up space in a cupboard

[ummmm]

I binned my deep fat fryer too. Pain in the rear to clean.

[spathiphyllum]

What oil do you use for a deep fart fryer? I have one but no clue how to use it and i know they are dangerous.

[spathiphyllum]

OOPS!! Fat not fart
