Desi Masala Fries

Desi Masala Fries! My absolute fav with grated cheese added on it ...!

Ingredients

• 3 potatoes
• 1 red onion
• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
• 1 sprig of turmeric powder
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 a teaspoon of cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon of chilli paste
• 1/2 a teaspoon of turmeric
• 1/2 a teaspoon of paprika
• Fresh cilantro to garnish
• Salt to taste
• Veg oil for frying

Instructions/Method:

Peel, slice and fry the fries. You can slice the fries as large or as thin as you like. I personally love mine really thin so that’s what I will always go for. Set aside. For the masala, start with some onions and garlic. Let this cook until everything is fragrant and has softened. Add the tomato paste, the spices, a bit of water and let this simmer on low heat until thickened. I chose to forego fresh tomatoes and use just tomato paste in the interest of saving time. But you can use both if you like. It needs to be nice and thick for the masala fries to be rich and saucy. If you make it too light, you will only end up with fries in a soup, and not actual juicy and saucy masala fries. Add the fries and gently toss them until coated. Thereafter, garnish with your fresh cilantro!!! Tadaah. I prefer to add grated aged cheddar on it
