Ingredients
- 3 potatoes (530 g), yellow-skinned, large, washed, peeled and cut into quarter inch sticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chaat masala powder
- 2 teaspoons chilli powder
- 1/2 cucumber small, washed, chopped into small cubes
- 1/2 red pepper small, washed, chopped into small cubes
- 1/2 jalapeno washed, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup tamarind paste you could use ready-made tamarind chutney
- 1/2 cup water warm, to make tamarind chutney
- 3 tablespoons vegan ranch
- 1/4 cup mint fresh, washed, finely chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and prepare the potatoes: wash, peel and cut into french fries using a food processor or use a knife to cut the potatoes into quarter-inch sticks. Soak in water for at least 30 minutes. After this time, drain and dry the potato strips thoroughly using a clean tea towel.
- Lay potato strips on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add oil, chaat masala and chilli powder, and use your hands to coat all the potato strips with the oil and spices.
- Spread the potatoes into a single layer on the baking tray, and send them to bake for 50 minutes on the middle shelf in your oven.
- Meanwhile, prepare the toppings, ranch dressing and tamarind chutney. Combine tamarind paste with warm water and mix thoroughly. Remove any stones, strings or lumps.
- Once the french fries are baked, transfer to a tray, top with chopped vegetables and jalapeno, and drizzle with ranch dressing and tamarind chutney. Garnish with mint and serve immediately. Best enjoyed hot. Enjoy!
