I went to an Afghani restaurant with some friends, and some of them ordered these spicy fries. They were so good. I recognized the spice used, so I decided to make them at home. They turned out great.
For two people, you will need:
1) 4 medium potatoes, peeled, and cut into thick wedges
2) curry powder [just a sprinkle is enough, but how much exactly is as desired]
3) red chilly powder [just a sprinkle is enough, but how much exactly is as desired]
4) salt to taste
5) Olive oil
In a pot place the potatoes, and cover with water, add salt, a little cumin, and chilly powder and boil under medium heat until cooked through, but they should still maintain their shape. Place on an oven dish [covered with foil] and sprinkle well with olive oil, curry powder, red chilly pepper, and salt, and place under broiler to brown. Turn them, until all of them are well browned and serve.

Yemeni restaurants around the world are known for their Haneed–chicken and meat. Usually this is made in a tanoor [clay oven filled with hot coals], but you can make it at home with the help of a pressure cooker and an oven.
You will need:
1) one whole chicken, cut into four equal pieces. Skin removed.
2) 1/2 cup of olive oil
3) 1 tblsp of cumin
4) 1tblsp of coriander
5) 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
6) 1/4 tsp of fresh ground pepper
7) 1/2 tsp of tumeric
8 ) 1/4 tsp of ground cardamon
9) salt to taste
10) 3 cloves of garlic, minced.
In a pressure cooker, on medium heat, add the chicken pieces, garlic, and all the spices. Mix well with spoon. Add a cup of water, and close pressure cooker and leave on medium low heat for 45 min to 1 hour. Remove chicken, and place in an oven dish [covered with foil] and place under the broiler until well browned from the top. Serve with rice, or fries.
