Do you find yourself craving for some fried goodies or sweets ?? I do, most of the times. But I do not always give in to the temptation. I grab a cucumber or munch on roasted almonds or max, I bite into a small piece of dark chocolate.

Yesterday, I made some spicy potato sticks just like that. They always taste great right? So I ate quite a bit & now I am guilty ...

If you are not counting calories, go make them now ...

You Will Need:

• 4 -5 large potatoes
• Salt as per taste
• 1 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• Oil for deep frying

Method:

• Wash & dry the potatoes. Halve the potatoes & cut them into 1/2 inch sticks.
• In a vessel, pour ice cold water & 3 tsp salt. Soak potato sticks for 30 mins. Drain & place potatoes on paper towels & pat dry.
• In a large bowl, mix together salt & red chilli powder. Add potato sticks. Toss to coat well.
• Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan. When the oil is hot, deep fry the potato sticks in batches until golden brown. This should take about 3-4 mins.
• Remove with a slotted spoon.
• Let them cool & store in a air-tight jar.

Munch on these whenever you feel like. Enjoi !!!
