Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

Boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Allow them to cool completely.

Cut and Coat the Fries

Cut the boiled sweet potatoes into french fry shapes.
In a bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with arrowroot powder, black pepper, and sendha namak until evenly coated.

Fry the Fries

Heat the desi ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Carefully add the coated fries to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it.
Fry the fries, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This will take about 8-10 minutes, depending on your stovetop.

Serve

Remove the fries from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess ghee.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Extra Crispy Fries

For extra crispy fries, ensure the sweet potatoes are completely dry before coating them in arrowroot powder. You can pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Working in batches ensures even cooking and browning.
Adjust the amount of sendha namak to your taste preference.
Experiment with other spices! A pinch of cumin or garam masala could add a delightful flavor twist.
