SPICY FRENCH FRIES
INGREDIENTS:
potatoes, cut into fingers

a pinch of dry mango powder (amchoor)

Heat the oil for deep frying. Wipe the cut potatoes with a kitchen towel so that they are dry. Add salt to them and mix well. Drop small batches of potatoes into the hot oil and fry till golden brown and crispy. Drain well and turn into a plate. Sprinkle wiht green chillies and coriander leaves and sprinkle with dry mango powder and serve immediately.

boiled potatoes, peeled and cut into rounds
left over samosa dough (please see the video on how to make samosas)
salt to taste
dry mango powder (amchoor)
red chilli powder
METHOD:
Place the cut boiled potates in a plate. Make small balls of the samosa dough and flatten. Roll each ball into a thin round. Cut thin strips out of each rolled ball . Take one strip and roll it over a potato slice making sure there is some gap so the potato can be seen (see the pic of the dish) . Its as tho you are dressing them up! Dress all the potates the same way and then deep fry them in hot oil till golden and crispy. Place on a plate and sprinkle with salt, red chilli powder and dry mango powder.
