Vermont Tandoori Fries with Deva Naturals Tandoori spice blend!

So remind me why are we using all these chemical based Masalas/Spices? DEVA NATURALS decided to make their own Natural Blend, with absolutely NO Chemicals or Preservatives!
Thought I'd try it on the family first, my dahlin guinea pigs. Potatoes are liked by almost all so added my Tandoori Masala to Local VT potatoes with some olive oil & salt, stick them in the toaster oven at 350 for 20 mts & bake till soft, then toast at 250 to crisp!
Sprinkle some Aamchur/ mango powder.
VOILA !
HEALTHY MARRIES DELICIOUS !
