“I don’t really like fries” – said NOONE EVER!
Air fried tandoori fries! Would you believe me if I tell you I made these in less than one spoon of oil. They are so crunchy, delicious and a perfect dish for a game or a movie night! I am IN LOVE with my GoWise Air Fryer. I think it’s the best purchase from my last year’s Black Friday Sale at Walmart. There are so many recipes that turn out really well in air fryer – tandoori veggies and paneer, air fried chicken wings, mushroom manchurian, tandoori salmon. The best part of cooking in Air fryer is it cooks SO FAST!
Ingredients:
- 4 Potatoes – Russet or any potato you’d like.
- 2-3 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP Tandoori masala. I love Shan Brand.
- 1 TSP of garlic powder or 2 cloves or grated garlic
- 1 TSP Dried Parsley
- 1 TSP of Kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
- 1 TSP of Chaat Masala
- 1 TSP of Salt (taste once before adding salt as the tandoori masala from Shan Tandoori Masala also has salt in it)
- 1 TSP of Paprika / Kashmiri Chilli powder adds great color.
Instructions:
- Wash and cut the potatoes into French fries. I like to keep the skin on. It’s quicker for me. Try to keep the size even so it cooks evenly. Soak and dry the fries before cooking. It helps remove the starch and drying them helps remove the moisture from the fries. This will help them crisp faster.
- Add 2 spoons of olive oil, salt, Shan Tandoori Masala, Grated garlic or dried garlic powder, chaat masala, pinch of kasoori methi, dried parsley. Mix it all and add your cut potatoes. I use my hands to make sure the potatoes are coated well with the seasoning.
- Add the Marinated Potatoes in the air fryer. Avoid dumping all the fries in one go. Arrange them in a single layer. Set the air fryer at 380 degrees F for 12 minutes. Toss the fries on to the other side and turn the air fryer on for 5-6 more minutes at 350 degrees F.
- You can also add grated amul or cheddar cheese and chaat masala, chopped scallions and cilantro to make it loaded potatoes.
- Serve with Spicy Sweet Mayo or Ketchup. Enjoy!
