Peel and wash 6 medium Irish potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into chip-sized pieces.

Wash the potatoes again.

In a bowl, add 2 eggs and season with a lot of salt.

Add Masala curry powder, chopped onions, and some green pepper (or other peppers if available).

Add in some chopped carrots and mix everything together.

Heat some previously used oil in a frying pan.

Fry the potato chips until they are almost dry, ensuring they do not get too oily.

Remove the chips from the oil and leave a little oil in the pan.

Combine the egg mixture with the fried chips in the mixing container and shake vigorously to mix.

Return the pan to the heat and pour the mixture into the pan.

Cover the pan to let the egg cook for a few seconds.

Flip the mixture over to cook the other side, using a plate if needed.

Remove the Chips Mayai from the heat once both sides are cooked.
