Wash and scrape the large potatoes.

Peel the potatoes using a sharp peeler to remove a thin layer of skin.

Cut the potatoes vertically into slices, then stack and cut them into long strips.

Reserve the potato strips in cold water.

Pat the potato strips dry with a clean kitchen towel, ensuring they do not break.

Fry a portion of 15 to 20 potato strips in moderately hot oil for 30 seconds, then transfer them to absorbent kitchen paper (this is known as oil blanching).

Transfer the half-fried fries to a tray and press down with another kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.

Coat the fries with potato starch (or corn starch if unavailable).

Freeze the coated fries for a minimum of 30 minutes.

After freezing, fry the potatoes again in moderately hot oil for 45 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown.

Transfer the fries to a larger surface area while still warm.

Season the fries with salt, roasted coriander powder, chili powder, chat masala, freshly chopped parsley, and crushed black pepper.
