Notes
You can make this recipe less oily by substituting 1/2 the oil for vegetable broth. You will need to double the spices to keep the flavour the oil infuses. You could make this oil-free by baking it in the oven. It will not be as crisp but will still taste great. Taste and adjust the spices or add some heat.
