Equipment
Ingredients
- 15 oz frozen fries (or leftover fries)
- 3 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (or cayenne pepper)
- 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala (use store-bought or homemade garam masala)
- ½-1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon kasoori methi dried fenugreek leaves (crushed)
- 2 tablespoon cilantro
Instructions
- Cook the frozen fries in the oven or air fryer as per the package instructions.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and add onions. Saute for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and become translucent.
- Add the ginger garlic paste and saute for one more minute.
- Add tomatoes, tomato ketchup, ground coriander, ground cumin, chili powder, garam masala, kasoori methi, and salt. Let the tomatoes cook on medium heat.
- Stir occasionally and cook for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes cook and the oil begins to separate. Make sure the masala sauce is thick, and there is no moisture content.
- Add the cooked fries to the pan and mix gently until they are evenly coated. Turn off the heat and top with cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
For this recipe, I have used store-bought frozen fries and cooked them in an air fryer. You can also make fries from scratch and use them in this recipe. Leftover fries also work well.
Make sure the fries are fully cooked and crispy before adding to the masala. Add them while they are still hot. If you are using leftover fries, reheat them in an oven or air fryer before adding them to the sauce.
Toss the cooked fries gently in the masala sauce and do it quickly. This will help the sauce coat the fries without making them soggy.
