Potato Straws

Potato Straws

 Ingredients :

4 large potatoes, peeled

Salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

Ice-cold water

Oil for deep-frying

Method :

Cut the potatoes into thin slices before cutting the slices into matchstick strips. Soak the potato strips in ice-cold water. Drain and dry well on absorbent paper. Heat up a deep-frying pan with the oil and when very hot, fry the potato straws, a handful at a time. Fry till the potato straws are golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on absorbent paper. When all the potato straws are fried, sprinkle with the salt and spices mixed together.
