Chips (Fries)

Method

Chips (Fries)

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps achieve a crispier texture.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Chips

    Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste while they are still hot.

Curry Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Make the Curry Base

    Stir in the curry powder and flour, mixing thoroughly for about 1 minute to toast the spices.

  3. 8

    Add the Liquid Ingredients

    Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Add soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

  4. 9

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
