Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tablespoons EVOO
2 pounds ground lamb or chicken
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 chile peppers, such as Fresno, jalapeno or finger peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 inch ginger root, grated or 1 teaspoon dried ginger powder
1 tablespoon chili powder, such as Gebhardt's
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 to 3 tablespoons Sriracha
3 sweet potatoes (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
Natural nonstick cooking spray
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped
Chopped fresh mint leaves
Scallions
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven or chili pot over medium-high heat. Add the meat, then crumble and brown. Add the garlic, chiles, onions, ginger, chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric and some salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the tomato paste and stir a minute more. Add the stock and simmer for the flavors to combine, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
  • Stir together the yogurt and Sriracha and store in a airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to eat, reheat the curry chili over medium heat, adding more stock or water if needed, while you bake the sweet potato fries.
  • For the fries: Place a rack in upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut the sweet potatoes into fairly thin fries, 1/4-inch thick, and arrange on baking sheet. Spray with the cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, then switch on the broiler and broil until brown and crispy at edges, 15 to 20 minutes, turning once.
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When it foams, add the garlic and swirl for a minute. Toss the fries with the butter and cilantro in large bowl using tongs.
  • To serve, arrange the fries on a platter or individual plates. Ladle the chili over the fries and top with the spicy yogurt, mint and scallions, and pass the limes for squeezing on top.

Tips for Making the Best Indian Home Fries:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Use firm, starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. These hold their shape well and become crispy when fried.
  • Cut Potatoes Uniformly: Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch cubes or wedges.
  • Soak Potatoes in Water: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
  • Dry Potatoes Thoroughly: Before frying, pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps them crisp up.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: A non-stick pan prevents the potatoes from sticking and burning. If using a regular pan, make sure to add enough oil to prevent sticking.
  • Fry Potatoes in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the potatoes in batches to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the spices! A good blend of Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder adds depth of flavor.
  • Cook Until Golden Brown: Fry the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
  • Drain on Paper Towels: After frying, drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve Hot: Indian home fries are best served hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Indian home fries are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner side. With their crispy texture and flavorful spices, they are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Experiment with different spice combinations to create your own unique version of this classic dish. Leftover Indian home fries can be reheated in a pan or oven and served the next day. Enjoy!
