Preparation time : 15 mins
Cook time : 30 mins
Serves 4 pax

Ingredients :

For French fries

2 Large sized potatoes peeled and cut in French fries shape
Salt as per taste
1 cup All purpose flour/Maida
1/2 cup Cornflour 
Oil for deep frying

For Sauce

1 tbsp Sesame oil/Cooking oil
1 tsp Ginger finely chopped
1 tsp Garlic finely chopped 
1 cup Spring Onion
1/2 Capsicum 
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
3 tbsp Red Chilli Sauce
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp Tomato sauce
1/2 tsp pepper powder
1/2 tsp Kashmiri Red chilli powder
1 tsp Cornflour
1 tsp White Sesame seed
1 tbsp Honey
Pinch of salt (if required)

Method

  • Wash peel and cut potatoes in French fries shape
  • After cutting them immerse them in water so that it doesn’t turn dark in colour 
  • Boil water add little salt to it and cook these potatoes so that it retains it shapes . Just ensure do not overcook them or else the French fries may lose its shape.
  • Immediately drain the boiling water in a strainer and keep the boiled potato strips separate 
  • Now for coating , take a bowl add all purpose flour, cornflour, little oil and salt as per taste. To this add water to form a thick consistency of batter
  • To this batter add all the Potato strips and coat them well
  • Heat oil in a wok for deep frying . Here we are going to double fry the potatoes so as to get that perfect crispy and crunchy French fries 
  • While frying the fries for the first time Just ensure you fry them until they are very light brown
  • Now when you fry them for the second time the fries should turn nice golden brown in colour. At this stage you will see that the French fries have turned super crunchy 
  • Keep all the French fries aside and now let’s make the sauce immediately 
  • In a heavy bottom pan add sesame oil preferably or any cooking oil
  • Once the oil is hot add finely chopped ginger garlic, capsicum and spring onions (I have used the onions of spring onions you can use red onions as well). Sauté them well
  • Now add red chilli, tomato and soya sauce along with pepper powder and little red chilli powder(optional) . I have used Kashmiri red chilli powder to avoid artificial colour as it gives the sauce a natural red colour 
  • Take 1/2 cup water to this add 1 tsp cornflour mix them well and pour it in the sauce so as to give it a thick texture
  • Next add sesame seeds and salt if required. I would suggest to taste the sauce before adding salt since all the sauces which we have used already has salt content in it 
  • After 5 mins switch off the flame and add honey to the sauce. Honey will give a sweet taste to this spicy and tangy sauce
  • Leave the sauce to cool down and then add all the French fries. Give it a nice mix and here your sweet tangy spicy crispy Honey Chilli Potato is ready to be served 
Garnish with spring onions and roasted Sesame seeds 

Tips and note  

    • After cutting the potatoes dip them in water so as to avoid blackening of the potatoes 
    • If you have over cooked the potatoes while boiling  immediately take them of the pot and keep it under running cold water for a while. This will bring down the temperature immediately 
    • To get that crispy crunchy taste of French fries just ensure that the sauce has cooled down before you add the French fries to it. It will become soggy and soft if you add the French fries to hot sauce
