About the dish
Chipsi mayai, Swahili for “chips and eggs”, is one of Tanzania’s best-loved street foods. Freshly fried chips go into a pan, beaten eggs are poured over them and the whole thing is cooked like a thick omelette and flipped to finish. It comes with ketchup, hot pili pili sauce and kachumbari, a salad of tomato, onion and cucumber. Vendors cook it in the evenings on sizzling pans along the streets of Dar es Salaam, Arusha and other towns, and for many students and workers it is the go-to quick supper.
