- • 1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
- • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Preparation Steps
Start by deep frying your frozen chips at around 175 Celsius or oven baking for the time stated on the packet
Whilst the chips are cooking heat the oil on low to medium and add the onion chunks to begin to soften for a couple of minutes
Add in the Garlic and Ginger paste and allow to fry for 30-60 seconds until the bitterness goes
Tip in the tomato puree, watered down with about 4 tablespoons of water to allow it to mix easier and again allow to fry for 30-60 seconds
Add the rest of the spices but leave the fresh chopped coriander and some of the green and red chillies for decoration at the end and fry for about 4-5 minutes until the oil starts to separate
Turn off the heat, drain the fries, then combine in the pan and stir gently to coat evenly with the masala spices
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh chopped coriander and the remaining red and green chillies.
