⭐ Difficulty: Easy

🛒 Ingredients

For the Fries

• 3 large potatoes
• Water, for soaking
• 1 tsp salt
• Oil, for frying

For the Masala

• 1 tsp chaat masala
• ½ tsp red chilli powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp cumin powder
• A pinch of black salt, optional
• 1 tbsp chopped coriander
• Lemon juice, to taste

👨🍳 Let's Make It!

1. Prep the Potatoes 🥔

Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks. Soak them in cold water for 20–30 minutes.

This removes excess starch and helps give you crispier fries.

2. Dry Them Well!

Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.

This little step makes a BIG difference. 😉

3. Fry Until Golden 🔥

Heat oil over medium heat and fry the potatoes until crisp and golden.

Want extra crunch? Fry them once, let them rest for a few minutes, then fry again briefly until beautifully crisp.

4. Make the Masala 🌶️

Mix chaat masala, chilli powder, garlic powder, cumin powder and black salt in a bowl.

5. Toss & Enjoy! ❤️

Add the hot fries to the bowl and toss immediately so the masala sticks to every crispy piece.

Finish with coriander and a squeeze of lemon.

💡 Chef's Secret

The drier the potatoes, the crispier the fries.

And don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Give each fry enough space to cook properly.

For a fun twist, try Peri Peri, cheesy or tandoori masala fries! 😋
