Double fried spicy chips

There is something special about double fried chips. I just love the crunchiness and texture. Spiced up, they taste even better and here is my recipe for a delicious dish.

Ingredients

• 400 grams potatoes, cut into chunky chips.
• Handful of cashew nuts
• 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried mango powder (amchur)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• Rapeseed oil for deep frying

Method:

1. Fill a large deep saucepan or kadai 2/4 full of oil and heat on low-medium.
2. Add the chips in batches and fry until cooked for about 6 minutes per batch.
3. Place each batch on a piece of kitchen towel to drain off any excess oil.
4. Once cool, re-heat the oil and fry the chips again in batches for another 4-5 minutes per batch, until they are golden and crispy. Dry on a kitchen towel again.
5. In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium heat.
6. Add the cumin seeds and when they sizzle, add the cashew nuts.
7. Let them fry for around 3 minutes and then add the sesame seeds.
8. Now add all the spices and seasonings except the sea salt. Mix well for a few seconds and then add the chips.
9. Stir regularly for around 3 minutes until everything is mixed well.
10. Take off heat, sprinkle the sea salt evenly and enjoy hot.
