Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 220°C. Place the about 450 g frozen french fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
2. 2While the fries are baking, place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp vegetable oil and heat for 1 minute, until the oil shimmers.
3. 3Add the 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/4 tsp amchur, and salt to taste to the hot oil in the saucepan. Stir constantly with a spoon for 30 seconds, until the spices become fragrant; be careful not to let them burn.
4. 4Once the about 450 g frozen french fries are golden brown and crispy, carefully transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the heated masala mixture from the saucepan over the hot fries.
5. 5Toss the fries gently with a spoon or tongs until all the fries are evenly coated with the spice blend. Serve the masala fries immediately while they are hot and crispy.
