Homemade Masala French Fries Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes (peeled and cut into thin fries)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder) or juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Ketchup or mint chutney (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into thin, uniform fries.
  2. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them become crispier when fried.
  3. After soaking, drain the water and pat the fries dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2: Fry the Fries
  1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the potato fries in batches, frying them until golden and crispy (about 5–7 minutes per batch). Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Once crispy and golden brown, remove the fries from the oil and drain the excess oil by placing them on paper towels.
Step 3: Season the Fries
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cumin powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, chaat masala, garam masala, amchur powder (or lemon juice), and salt.
  2. While the fries are still hot, toss them in the spice mix until they are evenly coated.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
  1. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra tang.
  2. Serve the Masala French Fries hot with a side of mint chutney or ketchup.

Tips for Perfect Masala French Fries

  • For Extra Crispiness: Double fry the potatoes. Fry the potatoes once until they are soft, drain, and let them cool. Fry them again until golden and crispy.
  • Customize the Spices: Adjust the chili powder and garam masala for the spice level you prefer.
  • Baked Option: For a healthier alternative, toss the fries in a little oil and bake them at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes until crispy, flipping halfway through.

Enjoy these flavorful and crispy Masala French Fries as a snack or side dish at your next meal or party!
