Zesty Masala French Fries

In a medium bowl, combine chaat masala, red chili powder, dried mango powder, and salt. Stir the spices together and set aside.

Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut into French fries. Soak the slices in water for 5 to 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry. Heat oil in a karahi, wok, or shallow pan over medium-high heat.

When the oil is hot, add the potato slices and fry until they turn golden brown.

Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.

Cook the frozen fries according to the package instructions, using the stove, air fryer, or oven. I prefer using the air fryer.

Put the cooked French fries in the bowl with the spice mix. Ensure the fries are hot to help the spices adhere. Cover the bowl with a plate or lid and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. Remove the cover, add lemon juice, and toss the fries again.

Serve the spicy masala fries hot with ketchup and tea.
