Fries

Fried Paneer Curds

Pickled Red Onions

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash, peel (if desired), and cut the potatoes into thin fries.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Once the oil is hot, add the potato fries in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.

Tikki Masala Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté the Base

    In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    Add tomato puree, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Pour in water and coconut cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.

Fried Paneer Curds

  1. 7

    Coat the Paneer

    Toss the cubed paneer in cornstarch until evenly coated.

  2. 8

    Fry the Paneer

    In a frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the paneer cubes until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pickled Red Onions

  1. 9

    Prepare the Pickling Solution

    In a bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  2. 10

    Pickle the Onions

    Add sliced red onions to the pickling solution. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Assemble the Poutine

    On a serving plate, layer the fries, followed by the tikki masala sauce. Top with fried paneer curds, pickled red onions, and crumbled queso fresco. Drizzle with additional coconut cream if desired.
