If using frozen fries, cook according to the package instructions until they are crispy and golden. For homemade fries, cut potatoes into even strips, soak them in cold water, then fry them in hot oil (about 350°F) until crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels and season with salt.

If you’re using leftover or store-bought butter chicken, heat it gently in a saucepan over medium heat until it's hot and bubbling. If you're making butter chicken from scratch, prepare it as per your favorite recipe.

Lay the hot, crispy fries on a serving platter or plate.

Sprinkle the cheese curds evenly over the fries. If you're using shredded cheese, spread it generously.

Pour the hot butter chicken over the fries and cheese. The heat from the butter chicken will start melting the cheese curds, creating that signature poutine texture.

Serve immediately while the fries are still crispy, the cheese is melting, and the butter chicken is warm and flavorful. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro or a drizzle of yogurt for added freshness.
