FRIES PROCEDURE

1
Cut the fillets into fries. In a bowl, mix the flour with the starch. Add sweet paprika and caraway. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cut fries to the bowl and mix everything thoroughly. Be careful not to damage or tear the meat too much. Gradually pour in sparkling water until a thicker batter, similar to pancake batter, forms.
2
Heat oil in a saucepan (it should be around 180 °C) and fry the fries in it.

DIP PROCEDURE

1
In a bowl, mix the yogurt with lemon juice and zest, add chopped dill, and season with salt and pepper.

Tip

The batter in which you coat the fries should be chilled. You can even add a few ice cubes to the bowl. By mixing flour and starch, you will achieve even crispier fries than if you made the batter only from flour. The same applies to chilling the batter - the fries will be crispier.
