Chotpoti Fries | Spicy Masala Loaded Fries

(1)
"Chotpoti is a street food mostly popular in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. Traditionally, made with boiled chickpeas and potatoes, this recipe takes all the fun ingredients from chotpoti and turns it into a loaded fries version. It's sweet, sour and tangy. Best of all, it's whimsical!"
