You could almost call these curry deep-fried potatoes. I made a few changes since I have only a small deep fryer. I cut the potatoes into 1 inch cubes to better fit my small fryer. I think this shortened the frying time since they browned fairly quickly. I had already made the masala powder before I started frying and knowing how many batches my fryer needed for all the potatoes, divided it up into the same number. As a batch came out of the fryer, it got coated with one portion of powder so I had no waste and the perfect amount of spicing on the potatoes. Fingers from hungry mouths started nibbling from the serving dish long before it made it to the table so I have to rate this dish very highly.
