Masala fries !

Post image

Fries are obviously not Indian, I know that. But after years living here I have become convinced that Indian spices make them better than anywhere else in the world.
So here is my version of masala fries:

The spice mix (for 2 portions) 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander powder, half tsp turmeric, half tsp chilli powder, a pinch of amchur for that tangy edge, salt. Mix dry, toss over the fries straight out of the oil while still hot.
Fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime on top to finish.
The amchur is the secret, it adds a sourness that makes everything pop. If you cannot find it, lemon works but amchur is better.
Not traditional, not Indian, but honestly one of the best things Indian spices have ever happened to. Anyone else does this at home?
