I found these Lay’s Magic Masala Potato Chips at Asiana Market in Deer Valley in Phoenix. They are a medium size bag that weighs around 3 1/2 ounces. These chips are from India.
The ingredients don’t look bad. Not too many chemicals. I’m so glad that they used edible vegetable oil instead of the inedible vegetable oil.
I take a whiff before I try them. It really does remind me of Indian food. They do smell fragrant.
I spill some out.
The chips are on the small side. They have ridges and feel sort of powdery.
I taste one slowly.
It’s very spicy. The flavors I taste are heavy with onion, garlic and chili pepper flavors. There are other flavors…One is something sort of vinegary. I’m getting the tomato and maybe cumin. There are other flavors that fill in but the onion, garlic and heat over power those flavors. Ginger might be there. …It taste like maybe asafoetida is there. I think that is the mystery flavor that makes this Indian Masala.
My husband tries some. He thought he was eating smoky BBQ chips…(lol)
These chips sure are better than many of the Lay’s flavors. I would like more ethnic kind of flavor here but they still are good tasting chips. However these chips are only for people who can take spicy.
Not bad…They don’t suck!
Your opinion may indeed differ.
