Notes

Ingredient Notes: 
  1. Fries: Use your favorite kind, whether it's straight-cut or even wedges. You can also make your chips from scratch, and then proceed with the written recipe.
  2. Chaat masala: This is a key ingredient for this recipe, so it cannot be skipped. It's available in most big grocery stores, Indian stores, and even online. 
  3. Red chilli powder: This is not the same as the American chilli powder which is made from a combination of different spices and is milder. Red chilli powder on the other hand is made of dried spicy red chillies which are crushed into a fine powder and is very hot. You can adjust the amount according to your taste, or even skip it altogether. 
  4. Dried mango powder: can be substituted with citric acid, lemon salt or even tamarind powder. 
  5. Black pepper: adds an extra kick and can be adjusted to suit your taste. 
  6. Lemon juice: Brings together all the flavors, but if you want super crispy fries you can skip it. 
Cooking Methods: 
  • Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer at 200 c and cook the chips for 10 minutes or until cooked through and crispy.
  • Deep fry: This recipe is originally made by deep-frying the chips, and you can cook the fries according to the frying instructions on the package. 
Storage and Reheating:
  • Storage: The fries can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. However, they are enjoyed best when fresh and hot.
  • Reheat: Bake on low heat in the oven for a few minutes until hot and crispy.
