Combine all the raita ingredients in a bowl and put it in the fridge until ready to serve the fries.
Slice the potatoes into wedges.
Coat them with olive oil and corn starch.
Turn the air fryer to 390 F.
Air fry the potatoes for 15 minutes until they are crispy.

Sprinkle the masala mix on the fries.
Squeeze some lemon juice and enjoy with the raita.
Tips
Do not skip the corn starch as it will make your fries extra crispy.
