- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 3/7 cups Tamarind Treacle Sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp chat masala
Prepare
- 4 large Maris Piper potatoes, cut into 2cm/¾ inch cubes

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the chopped potatoes, salt, and ground turmeric. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until the potatoes are soft but still hold their shape. Drain well and set aside.
-
Step 2.
While the potatoes cook, in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, add the tamarind treacle sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half and sticky and gloopy, about 3–5 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Toss the drained potatoes with the chat masala until evenly coated. Add them to the reduced tamarind treacle sauce and toss vigorously until fully coated and glossy.
-
Step 4.
Just before serving, sprinkle the fries with finely diced red onion, sliced red chilli, and roughly chopped fresh coriander.
