Ingredients
For Potatoes
- 3 large potatoes
- 3 tablespoons corn flour
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for deep frying
For Honey Chilli Sauce
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger (finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (slit)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon red chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons spring onion greens
- Salt if needed
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes.
Cut them into thin finger-shaped strips like French fries.
Put the strips in cold water for 10–15 minutes. This removes extra starch and helps make them crispier.
Drain the water and pat them dry completely.
Take a bowl and add corn flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the potato strips evenly in this dry mixture.
Step 2: Fry the Potatoes
Heat oil in a deep pan.
Add the coated potato fingers in batches and fry on medium flame until light golden.
Remove and let them rest for 2 minutes.
For extra crispiness, fry them again on high flame until golden and crunchy.
Keep the fried potatoes aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
Heat oil in a wok or pan.
Add chopped garlic, ginger, and green chili.
Sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.
Now add soy sauce, red chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, honey, and chili flakes.
Mix everything well and cook for a minute.
The sauce should become glossy and slightly thick.
Step 4: Toss the Potatoes
Add the crispy fried potatoes into the sauce.
Toss quickly so every potato finger gets coated with the sticky honey chilli glaze.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and spring onion greens.
Mix gently.
Final Serving
Transfer the crispy honey chilli potatoes to a serving plate.
Garnish with more sesame seeds and spring onions.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

- Evening snack
