Ingredients

• 3 kg potatoes cut into fries
• 2 large onions or 3 medium onions, sliced long
• 1 can of crushed tomatoes (or 5-6 large fresh tomatoes, crushed)
• 10-15 medium sized cloves of garlic
• 2-3 heaped tbsp chilli powder
• 1-2 tsp salt
• 5-6 tbsp tomato ketchup

Procedure

1. Preheat the frying pan and fry the fries as per instructions on the package. Make sure that the fries aren’t too crispy.
2. Crush the garlic very finely, ideally with a mortar and pestle.
3. Add the chilli powder and salt and mix well to form evenly mixed “chutney”.
4. If you like your food spicy, go heavy on the garlic and chilli powder.
5. Add 4 tbsp of oil in a pan and fry the onions till they are softened and very slightly browned.
6. Add the garlic paste made in step 2 and stir consistently for about a minute and a half.
7. Add the tomatoes and turn to medium heat; stir constantly for about 10-12 minutes or until oil appears on the side of the pan.
8. Add the tomato ketchup and stir.
9. Add the fries, turn the heat down and mix thoroughly.
10. Leave on the element for another 10 minutes or so.
11. Garnish with liberal amounts of coriander, the more the better.
