RECIPE STEPS:
For the fried potatoes
- Peel and cut the potatoes into long strips, similar to French fries. Once done soak them in water set aside.
- In a pan place the cut potatoes only along with some salt. Pour water and over medium flame bring the potatoes to a boil.
- Once the water starts to boil, lower the flame and cook the potatoes for 5 minutes, this step will allow the potatoes to soak all the salt and it will help us in making them extra crispy.
- Once the potatoes are ready, strain the potatoes using a strainer and transfer the potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
For the dry coating
- Add maida and rice flour. Mix everything until all the potatoes are well coated.
For the batter
- In a large mixing combine the maida, rice flour and salt, mix and start adding little water at a time until you get a thick batter.
- Add the boiled potatoes and mix everything until all the potatoes are well coated.
For the first fry
- In a large deep pan, heat the oil and fry the potatoes in batches over medium low flame, until they are light golden brown and crispy from outside and fluffy from inside. Once done, remove them on a plate.
- In the meantime, in a pan add the sesame seeds and roast them over low flame. Once they start popping, turn off the flame and set aside.
For the second fry
- Heat up the oil over high flame and then double fry the potatoes the second time. Flash fry the potatoes for 1 minute, this will ensure that the potatoes are very crispy from outside. Once done, remove them on a plate.
For the sauce / gravy
- Heat a wok over high heat; pour oil in the wok starting from the sides.
- Add garlic, green chilies, onions and raw sesame seeds; quickly stir fry for 1 minute.
- Next add the onion and capsicum, cook for 1 minute over high heat.
- Add salt, sugar, light soya sauce, red chili sauce, and cook for 1 minute over high heat.
- After a minute add tomato ketchup, black pepper and then pour water and bring it to a boil.
For the slurry
- In a small bowl combine cornflour and water to make a slurry, and stir. Add one teaspoon at a time to the sauce and cook for 30 seconds.
- Once the sauce has thickened, turn off the flame add the spring onions green and honey. Stir everything; adjust the seasoning at this stage.
- Finally add the fried potatoes, Give it a good mix and coat all the fried potatoes with the sauce. Garnish with spring onions green and sesame seeds.
Serve
- Serve the yummy Honey Chili Potato as a starter at the party and enjoy.
RECIPE NOTES :
Notes: We have to dry coat the potatoes so that the wet coating sticks to the potatoes evenly. The batter has to be thick consistency. Tomato ketchup helps to balance the flavor of the sauce. Adding slurry to the sauce will thicken the sauce and it will ensure even coating of the potatoes. You can skip the slurry, but use less water.
