Crispy Fries 🍟 Pakistani Recipe


Pakistani-style fries are a perfect blend of crispy potatoes, flavorful spices, and a dash of tangy sauces. These fries are a great snack or side dish for any meal. This recipe offers a unique twist with traditional Pakistani spices that make them stand out from regular fries.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick fries
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour (for extra crispiness)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder (zeera)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • ½ teaspoon chaat masala (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries.
    • Soak the fries in cold water for 15-20 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in making them crispy.
    • After soaking, drain the water and pat the fries dry with a kitchen towel.

  2. Coating for Crispiness:

    • In a bowl, mix the fries with cornflour. The cornflour helps give the fries an extra crunch.

  3. Seasoning the Fries:

    • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
    • In a small bowl, combine salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, black pepper, and chaat masala.
    • Once the oil is hot, fry the potatoes in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
    • Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

  4. Toss in Spices:

    • After all the fries are fried, sprinkle the prepared spice mix over the fries while they are still hot.
    • Add a splash of lemon juice and toss well to coat the fries evenly.

  5. Garnish and Serve:

    • Garnish the fries with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
    • Serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dip.

Tips for Perfect Fries:

  • Soaking the fries in water removes excess starch and results in crispier fries.
  • Frying the potatoes in small batches ensures even cooking and crispiness.
  • Adjust the spices according to your preference to make the fries spicier or milder.

Conclusion: These Pakistani-style fries are a perfect snack to enjoy with friends and family. With the right balance of spices and crunch, they offer a unique taste that stands out from regular fries. Pair them with your favorite chutneys or dips for an unforgettable experience.
