Ingredients

1 quart vegetable oil for frying

1 ½ cups gram flour (chickpea flour)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds

¼ teaspoon baking powder

½ cup lukewarm water, or as needed

4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating oil in a deep-fryer or big saucepan until it reaches a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin seeds, and baking powder. Add lukewarm water gradually, around 1/2 cup at a time, until the batter reaches a thick pancake-like consistency.

Step 3

Dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 4

Now, carefully fry the coated potatoes in batches in the hot oil, gently flipping them once, until they turn a beautiful golden crispy color, which should take around 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 5

Once done, transfer the deliciously crispy potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Enjoy your tasty homemade potato fries!
