Bring a packet of your favorite chips, choose from a variety of toppings and sauces and watch how your chips taste double. You can think of it like chaat, but with chips. Or a new version of loaded nachos, that too as per your choice. A similar new trend is now going viral in many Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Surat. From premium restaurants to street food vendors are adopting it.

Does this trend make your chips healthy?
Eating chips with fresh vegetables and protein can increase their nutritional level.
Positive aspects:
Vegetables: Rich in fiber and vitamins
Chicken: Good source of protein
Guacamole and Yogurt-Based Sauce: Healthy Fats
Precautions:
Chip base: still high in salt and unhealthy fats
Sauce: Adding too much mayonnaise and cream can make it unhealthy
Method of frying: If chicken is cooked in unhealthy oil, its benefits are reduced.
Limit your cheat meals: only have them on special occasions
Choose sauces wisely: Choose healthy options like hung curd, herbs, guacamole, or tahini instead of high-fat and high-sugar sauces
Use Baked Chips: Instead of fried chips, try baked and whole grain chips, makhana or homemade vegetable chips. Bring a packet of your favorite chips, choose from a variety of toppings and sauces and see how your chips taste twice as good goes.
