\"chipsi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chipsi mayai (a.k.a. chips mayai or zege) is a popular street food in Tanzania. Chipsi<\/em> is Swahili for “French fries” and mayai<\/em> is Swahili for “eggs.” As you might expect, it is an omelet with fries<\/a> mixed in. Think of it as a more efficient way to eat scrambled eggs with home fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What really sets it apart from other egg and potato dishes is the toppings that it is often served with. Typical accompaniments include: East African tomato sauce, kachumbari<\/em> (fresh tomato and onion salad), fresh chilies, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides eggs and fries, it can also be mixed in with a variety of vegetables like onions, green bell peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms. In addition, it’s sometimes topped with nyama choma<\/em> (barbecued beef) or kuku choma<\/em> (barbecued chicken) to make it an even heartier meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
