Lay’s has four Global Flavors of Potato Chips out. the one flavor I tried so far is the Kettle Cooked Indian Tikka Masala.

Well lets see how it goes………

On the bag it reads that this bag is packed with flavors including Turmeric, Cumin and Tomato. It also reads on the bag that there are no artificial flavors or preservatives and this flavor is vegetarian unlike some of the other flavors.

When I open the bag I take a whiff and it smells a little bit like food.

The chips are small, very hard and folded up a bit with spices that you can see. The surface is slightly powdery.

I start tasting chips……..

It has some zip to it meaning I get heat. The chips aren’t too spicy but they have a nice heat level.

As for flavor the chips don’t remind me of Tikka Masala.

The flavors are out of balance and some flavors of Tikka Masala aren’t there.

The chips have a lot of tang and salt to them.

ODDLY I don’t get any potato taste. The chips are thin, hard and very crisp and are just hard without potato taste. Tasteless potatoes.

For me the chips lack the fragrant flavors in Indian Food. I don’t get any ginger, nutmeg, turmeric or cardamon or the creamy tomato taste. All those flavors are missing.

I’m left with tang, a sour cream kind of taste, too much something that is very similar to sticking your tongue into straight chile powder-mixed with onions and burnt toast, salt, tasteless potatoes, and cumin, coriander and heat.

Your opinion may differ.

Sadly this one is not a keeper for me.

That was my Forking Thoughts on Lay’s Indian Tikka Masala Potato Chips.
