Honey sesame chilli potato

I have seen this dish many times on television , in  foodie forums but it just never happened to be cooked in my kitchen. Mostly because we eat very less potatoes keeping in mind my sugar level. But last night when I had to cook dinner for the husband and daughter, this particular dish came to my mind as its a very less time consuming simple recipe. The colour , the flavour is just mind-blowing!! Do go through this jhat-pat easy recipe and try in your kitchen. Shall eagerly wait for your feedback :)





Ingredients:

Potatoes: 2 (I took one big and one medium sized potato)
Garlic: 3-4 cloves grated
Tomato ketchup: 3-4 tbsp
Chilli flakes: 1 tbsp.
Kashmiri chilli powder: 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Mixed herbs: 1 tsp
Corn flour: 1 tbsp.
Crushed black pepper: 1 tsp
Honey: 1 tbsp.
Roasted sesame seeds: 2tsp
Refined oil for deep frying and 1 tsp for the sauce

Method:

Peel the potatoes and cut into fingers like for french fries. Wash them properly. In a mixing bowl, add the potatoes, salt, chilli powder, black pepper, mixed herbs, corn flour, mix them well and keep aside for 3-4 minutes.


Heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Now fry the potato fingers till golden brown and crisp. Keep them on a tissue paper to remove the excess oil.

For the sauce:
Heat one teaspoon of oil in another pan and add the garlic and saute for about a minute. Add the tomato ketchup, salt, chilli flakes and give it a nice stir for about a minute and add the honey. Keep stirring the mixture till the sauce thickens. Now add the potato fingers with the sauce and coat the fingers with it. Finally sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds on this and serve hot as starter or appetizer.
You can try the more healthier version of this recipe by baking the potato fingers other than deep frying them.
