These fries/chips are a speciality in most parts of Tanzania. The recipe takes your normal average plate of fries to a whole other level. Saucy and spicy, these masala fries work beautifully with bbq dishes or even as a snack on their own!
Ingredients
1 kg
potatoes, peeled and cut into strips/fries
(rinse the potato strips a couple of times to get rid of excess starch)
2 tbsp
margarine/butter
1/2 tsp
spanish paprika OR tandoori masala
1 tsp
salt
(or to taste)
2-3 tbsp
ketchup/tomato sauce
1 tbsp
tomato puree/paste
1 tsp
chilli powder
(or to taste)
1/4 tsp
garlic paste
1/4 tsp
cumin powder
(optional)
1/4 tsp
turmeric powder
(optional)
1
chopped green chillies
juice of half a lemon
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)
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 half a lemon (or more if you like lemons) and garnish with coriander. And you're done!!
Wema Sepetu
Who doesn't know Wema Sepetu !..even one year old child knows who Wema is. Apparently Wema is a superstar no discussion about that. Her movies do good business, but she is highly popular for personal life and her relationships especially with superstar Diamond Platnumz is still the most talked about in the media although they parted ways in late 2014. Wema has huge fan following but her acting is very normal lets is say poor. According to her fans in and outside Tanzania, no one like Wema even in acting. But when we look at her career graph it is had to say this or that is her best performance, but she looked good in Red Valentine. In some movies Wema's voice also need to be dubbed by another actress, her voice is very choosy when it comes to characters. But we think if she becomes serious with acting she will perform well
Jokate Mwegelo
The so-called multi-talented Jokate has indeed performed poorly in almost all of her movies. She debuted in Fake Pastors years ago. Although the film's story was good but it's leading ladies namely Jokate and Lisa Jensen both under performed. Today Lisa is a forgotten actress while Jokate keep doing movies. She has done From China With Love, Chumo, Mikono Salama. Although she was average in Chumo but she ended up being overshadowed by Johari in From China With Love. Even we wonder how she got Best actress for Mikono Salama at ZIFF since she didn't do justice to the role !. But we can conclude that she won the award because the year's movies submitted were few. We think Jokate should stick to presenting and designing not acting. She has so poor expressions and least convincing acting.
