 Chick Pea BATTER

• Cut Each Bread Slice in triangle shape .
• Spread Cheese on one side sprinkle very little chat masala and cover with the other half.
• Now again half this triangle in to 2 equal triangles. (E.G. 2 FULL SQUARE SLICE WILL MAKE 4 TRIANGLES)

Bread With Cheesy Spread

• Now Heat oil in a pan.( I use canola)
• Once heated on high,Simmer the flames to medium.
• coat each triangle in to batter from both sides.
• Fry into this hot oil till crisp golden brown.

Home Made French Fries.

RECIPE: French Fries for the Home Cook

• Serving: 4
• Prep Time: 25 minutes
• Cook Time: 40 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 1/2 cups peanut oil.
• 2 pounds medium white all-purpose potatoes (about 6), peeled and cut into approximately 3/8-inch-thick sticks.
• Coarse salt, such as kosher or sea salt

DIRECTIONS:
1. Pour oil into a 12-inch skillet. Add potatoes to cold oil. They should be packed in a single layer with several sitting on top and with oil almost covering them. As potatoes fry and their moisture evaporates, they will eventually fit in pan in a single layer. Turn heat to medium, and fry until potatoes just start to turn pale golden, occasionally jiggling pan, 25 to 30 minutes. (You can move potatoes around for first 10 to 12 minutes if you like, but do not disturb them for the next 10 to 15 minutes, because they are too fragile.)

2. Once potatoes have developed a pale gold shell, increase heat to medium-high and fry, continuously moving them around to ensure even browning. When they are golden brown, transfer them (I use spring-action tongs) to a wire rack set over a cookie sheet or jelly-roll pan. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

HANDY HINTS: The Easy Way to Make Homemade French Fries Don't bother the potatoes while they cook. Simply add them to the cold oil, turn the heat on medium, and find something else to do. To fry potatoes for two, halve the recipe, use a medium skillet, and reduce temperature to low.
