Golden Turmeric Fries with Coriander and Mint Dip

Golden Turmeric Fries with Coriander and Mint Dip elevates the classic comfort food of chips (fries) to an impressive appetiser, party canape or as a tasty snack to enjoy with friends and family.

Coriander and Mint Dip

 I love herbs and grow a couple of types of mint in my garden.  This year for the first time, I have been growing Korean Mint which has a slight liquorice flavour.

I haven’t dared put it outside yet, as the weather has been variable however it is growing very well on the kitchen windowsill.  It doesn’t have a strong minty flavour, so if you don’t have any you can simply add an extra 10 g of coriander leaves.

The dip is really easy to make as you just throw all the ingredients into a blender and whizz it up.  It will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

I made the Coriander and Mint Dip in the small jug of my power blender. This  is great for small quantities and thicker mixes as it has rotating blades that scrape down the mixture from the sides of the blender.

What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is really ‘on trend’ in the food world, however, it’s anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and analgesic properties have been known for thousands of years as part of Ayurvedic medicine.

The yellow colour comes from curcumin this gives the potatoes in this recipe a lovely golden colour and an early flavour.  Turmeric is  the spice that gives curry much of its colour. It has a peppery, earthy taste, which works well with the potato of the Golden Turmeric Fries.

Make your Golden Turmeric Fries (chips) look extra special.  Cut them really square and in even sizes, soak for 30 minutes in cold water, then dry on a clean tea towel.

Add oil and dried turmeric to a plastic bag.  Add the potato sticks and move them around until they are coated and golden.

Pre-heat the air fryer and add the fries in a single layer. Select the fries setting and halfway through the cooking, give the fries a bit of a stir.

Make a larger batch of Golden Turmeric Fries

To make a larger batch take the fries out of the Air Fryer 5 minutes before the end of cooking. Re-fry at 220C for 5-8 minutes. just before serving

If you don’t have an air fryer follow the alternative instructions on the recipe card.

Salad Dressing

Coriander and Mint Dip makes a brilliant addition to a salad dressing.  Add one teaspoon to two tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Whizz in the blender or shake it up and you have really flavourful dressing with no need for extra seasoning.
