Masala Loaded Fries Recipe

A loaded fry with real Indian character

This is comfort food with attitude — crisp 10mm fries layered with warm masala, fresh onion, coriander and a generous chutney drizzle. Built for cafes, but easy enough for a Sunday at home.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 400g The Nilgiri Root Classic Cut 10mm fries
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 small tomato, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp green chutney
• 2 tbsp tamarind chutney
• 1 tsp chaat masala
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• 1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder
• A handful of fresh coriander
• 2 tbsp sev (optional)
• A squeeze of lime

Method

1. Cook the fries straight from the freezer per pack instructions until deep golden.
2. Tip onto a warm plate and immediately dust with chaat masala, chilli powder and cumin.
3. Scatter onion and tomato across the top.
4. Drizzle with green and tamarind chutneys.
5. Finish with coriander, sev and a squeeze of lime.

Serving suggestion

Serve in a paper-lined cast iron skillet with extra chutneys on the side. Eat immediately — the contrast of hot, cold, crisp and soft is the whole point.
