today we are preparing honey chilli potato, an Indian starter dish which can be had as a snack and a meal time dish as well
here are the ingredients we will need. these along with their quantities are listed in the description box
oil for frying
potatoes, peeled & cut like french fries. keep them in a bowl of water to prevent discoloration
rice flour
all purpose flour
cornflour
dry roasted til/sesame seeds
sliced onion
sliced bell pepper
grated garlic & ginger
chopped green chillies
chopped cilantro
honey
red chilli sauce
tomato ketchup
soya sauce
salt
Add water, salt & potatoes to a kadahi/wok, give a stir and boil them on high heat for 5 minutes
after 5 minutes reduce heat to low and boil for another 5 minutes
a total of 10 minutes of boiling cooking them about 70% only
then put off the heat and strain out the water. transfer the potatoes to a bowl
then add a tsp of all-purpose flour and a tsp of rice flour and mix to coat all over
in another bowl put the remaining rice flour & all purpose flour
add salt to your taste. we are adding 3/4 tsp
stir to mix and then add water as needed to make a thick but flowing batter
this is the consistency of the batter
add the potatoes and mix to coat all over
in a pan add oil for frying and keep the heat on high
once oil is hot reduce heat to medium and fry the potatoes very lightly as we will be frying them again a second time
keep turning them over and keep adjusting heat as required
double frying the potatoes will make them crispy
you can separate those stuck a little while into frying like this or when you remove them to a plate
all the potatoes are fried once
now fry them a second time, this time till they turn golden in color
all the potatoes have been fried twice
now remove the oil and then pour just 2 tbsp of oil in this pan to prepare the sauce
we have added 2 tbsp oil to the pan. keep the heat on medium and add the ginger garlic. saute for 15-20 seconds
we just need to remove their raw taste
add the chopped green chillies, bell pepper & sliced onions. saute for about 1 to 2 minutes. keep heat on medium
the veggies should remain crunchy
add the red chilli sauce, tomato ketchup and soya sauce
and stir till they combine well
adjust heat as needed
add a tsp or more if you like of roasted sesame seeds and mix well
stir cook for about 1 to 1.5 minute
now add 1 cup water, mix well and let the mixture come to a boil
in the meantime add 3 tsp water to the cornflour and stir to make a smooth solution
stir the mixture and add the cornflour solution when it starts boiling
mix well and stir till the sauce mixture thickens, about 1/2 a minute
once the sauce has thickened put off the heat and transfer the pan to a cold burner or the kitchen platform and add the honey
never heat honey
mix well and add the fried potatoes
mix again till all the potatoes are well coated with the sauce
the dish is smelling heavenly
the honey chilli potato dish is ready. transfer it to a serving bowl
we are out of spring onions so we will garnish the dish with some cilantro instead as well as some roasted sesame seeds
