Key Questions Answered
To make masala French fries, you need 2 to 3 large potatoes, 4 tablespoons of rice flour or cornflour, 1 teaspoon each of turmeric, red chilli powder, black pepper powder, and black salt, along with regular salt to taste and oil for frying.
Washing the cut potatoes 3 to 4 times removes excess surface starch. Drying them thoroughly on a clean cloth or towel prevents oil splashes in hot oil and ensures the coating sticks properly.
