Ingredients
4 large potatoes (about 900g), peeled and cut into thick chips
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp plain flour
300ml chicken or vegetable stock
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste
oil for deep frying
Instructions
Parboil the chips: Place chips in a pot of cold salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread chips on a baking tray, drizzle with 2 tbsp oil, and toss to coat. Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, make the curry sauce: In a saucepan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in curry powder and flour, cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in stock, then add tomato puree and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Deep fry the chips (optional): For extra crispiness, deep fry the parboiled chips in oil at 180°C (350°F) for 3-4 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Serve chips with warm curry sauce on the side or drizzled over.
Tips
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock.
The curry sauce can be made ahead and reheated.
Adjust the curry powder amount to your spice preference.
