Ingredients
[b][size=150]2
burger buns
(or 4 slices of bread)
4
potatoes, peeled and cut into strips/fries
(rinse the potato strips a couple of times to get rid of excess starch)
2 tsp
margarine/butter
1/4 tsp[/size][/b]
spanish paprika OR tandoori masala
1 tsp
salt to taste
1-2 tbsp
ketchup/tomato sauce
tomato puree/paste
1/4 tsp
chilli powder
(or to taste)
1/4 tsp
garlic paste
pinch of cumin powder
(optional)
pinch of turmeric powder
(optional)
1
chopped green chilli
1 tsp
lemon juice
chopped coriander for garnishing
oil for deep frying
Instructions
Fry the chips, twice. (Fry them the first time, then drain them from the oil, re-heat the oil and fry them again to make them extra crispy). Blot out the excess oil on paper towels.
In a pan, heat the margarine/butter. When it melts, turn off the heat, add the spanish paprika or tandoori masala, salt, red chilli powder, garlic paste, tomato paste/puree and ketchup/tomato sauce (or chilli sauce if you prefer them extra hot).
Sometimes I like to add a little bit of any other spice like cumin powder or turmeric to play around with the flavour, or I add chopped chillies or red chilli flakes for extra heat. You can adjust according to your taste and preference.
Turn on the heat again and cook these ingredients until they are well combined and starting to thicken (you can add a splash of water if you prefer your chips saucy). Turn the heat to low, and throw in your chips. Toss them around so that the sauce/masala covers them properly. Turn off the heat and squeeze in the lemon and garnish with coriander.
Slit each bun in half and lightly butter and toast them if you want. Add in some of the masala chips and you can drizzle some extra ketchup or hot sauce in there for an extra saucy sandwich. Cover the buns and serve with a salad and a cold drink.
Enjoy!
