You Will Need (15 things)

  • 3 limes
  • 1 Lemon
  • 7 tbsp Sugar
  • 6 cup Water

  • for the lemonade

  • 1 tsp Chaat Masala
  • handful Mint Leaves

  • for the fries

  • 500 g Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 tsp Coriander Seeds
  • 2 tsp Chili Flakes
  • 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
  • 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • ¼ tsp Asafoetida
  • Salt to taste

Steps (2 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    FOR THE LEMONADE
    In a glass, squeeze the juice out of the 3 limes. For every 1 lime, add 2 tablespoons sugar and then in the end add an additional tablespoon sugar. If you like it sweeter you can always add more later. Mix well till the sugar disappears and is fully incorporated. Add the salt and mix well again.
    Strain the juice of the limes through a sieve so you get rid of any seeds or flesh. Add the 6 glasses water, lemon slices, mint leaves and the chaat masala (optional). Chill before serving.

  2. 2

    FOR THE FRIES
    Wash and cut your sweet into thick slices. Grind all the spices roughly together. Take a large ziplock bag and add the potatoes slices and the oil with the dry spices. Close bag and mix everything together. Let the bag sit for about 15 minutes while the potato slices drink in the spices.

    On a baking tray spread out your slices and bake for 15 minutes. At this point turn the slices over and bake for another 15-20 minutes or till the potato slices are nice and brown and the aroma from all those spices is driving you nuts!

    Serve hot with the chilled lemonade.
