salli

Dishoom p. ███

These delicious, crispy potato matchstick-fries are a popular snack, typically dressed with a sprinkling of “magic” masala (page 357) and several squeezes of lime. They are also used for adding crunch to keema per eedu (page 42), salli boti (page 110), and almost any curry that has a rich gravy. Plain salli can be bought from most Indian grocers; here’s a recipe if you wish to make them at home.
