How to Make French Fries (Traditional & Healthy Malaysian Version)
French Fries, locally known as 'kentang goreng', have become a staple snack in Malaysia’s multicultural food landscape. While their origins are global, Malaysians have added their own touch by incorporating local spices and serving them with unique dipping sauces, making them a beloved street food and café favorite. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these fries are enjoyed by all ages, especially during gatherings, festive occasions, or as a quick snack. In Malaysia, French Fries are often seasoned with spices like serbuk kari (curry powder) and served with homemade dips flavored with pandan, lemongrass, or cili padi (bird’s eye chili) for a distinctly Malaysian twist. This healthy version uses air-frying instead of deep-frying, reducing oil and calories while maintaining the authentic taste and texture Malaysians adore. By choosing local potatoes and fresh herbs, you get a snack that celebrates Malaysia’s vibrant culinary heritage and supports wholesome eating habits.
