If you think chips are just a side dish, you haven’t tried our Chilli Cheese Chips.
At Kerala Canteen in Leeds, we take skin-on fries, toss them in chilli garlic sauce and finish them with mature Cheddar. The result is simple, bold and seriously satisfying.
Better still, this is the kind of plate that lands on the table and suddenly everyone wants a fork.
Whether you’re joining us for South Indian tapas, sharing plates with friends or simply looking for something different to add to your meal, these are chips with a proper Kerala Canteen twist.
What Are Chilli Cheese Chips?
Our Chilli Cheese Chips start with skin-on fries.
First, we toss the fries in our chilli garlic sauce. Then, we top them with mature Cheddar for a rich, savoury finish.
The fries bring the crunch. The garlic sauce adds depth. Finally, the mature Cheddar brings everything together.
It is a familiar comfort food with a Kerala Canteen approach.
And yes, they are GF and vegetarian.
Why These Aren’t Your Average Chips
There are plenty of places in Leeds serving chips. However, not every plate of chips is made for sharing.
At Kerala Canteen, we like taking something familiar and giving it more character.
The skin-on fries bring plenty of texture. Meanwhile, the chilli garlic sauce adds a rich layer of flavour. On top, mature Cheddar gives the dish a deep, savoury finish.
The result is a plate that feels familiar but still gives you something different.
That is exactly what we like to do at Kerala Canteen.
What’s in the Chilli Cheese Chips?
There are only a few ingredients, but each one has a job.
- Skin-on fries – crisp, golden and full of texture.
- Chilli garlic sauce – rich, garlicky and full of flavour.
- Mature Cheddar – adding a rich and savoury finish.
- GF and vegetarian – making them an easy choice for different dietary preferences.
Because the dish keeps things simple, every part matters.
You get the crisp fries first. Then comes the garlic sauce. Finally, the mature Cheddar brings the plate together.
The Perfect Plate for Sharing
Kerala Canteen is built around sharing.
Our modern South Indian menu gives you the chance to order different plates, put them in the middle of the table and try something new.
That makes the Chilli Cheese Chips a natural fit.
For example, order them alongside South Indian tapas and Kerala dishes for a table full of different flavours. Share them with friends, add them to a family meal or simply order them because you want a plate of really good chips.
There is no wrong way to do it.
