Yesterday was my birthday and as a surprise my husband took me out to the relatively recently opened Mowgli in Bristol. I was sorely tempted by these Treacle Tamarind Fries but managed to resist. However, here is the recipe from the excellent cookbook ” Mowgli Street Food” by Nisha Katona.
Ingredients
- 4 inch large Maris Piper potatoes cut into 2cm cubes
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 100 ml Tamarind Treacle Sauce more if needed
- 1½ tsp chat masala
- ½ red onion finely diced
- 1 small red chilli finely sliced
- ½ bunch fresh coriander/cilantro roughly chopped
Servings:
Instructions
- In a large saucepan set over a medium-high heat, add the chopped potatoes, salt and ground turmeric and cover with cold water. Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8–10 minutes or until the potatoes become soft but still hold together. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large non-stick frying pan set over a medium-high heat, add the tamarind treacle sauce and reduce by about a half until sticky and gloopy.
- Toss the drained potatoes with the chat masala, then add to the tamarind treacle sauce and toss vigorously until fully coated. The potatoes should have a glossy sheen.
- Finish by sprinkling over the red onion, red chilli and fresh coriander just before serving.
