Hi everyone!

Hope you’re all safe and staying at home during this challenging time.

Who knew that the beginning of 2020 was going to be such a whirlwind, right?! But let’s not lose hope and keep ourselves busy… we are cooking a lot of new recipes at home during the 21-day long lockdown in India, so we thought why not share a few recipes with you guys 🙂

Today we cooked Chilli Potato in Barbecue Sauce for the first time and it turned out soooo yummy! So, let’s jump right into how you can cook it at home too. It’s a really simple recipe and takes about 15-20 mins to prepare.

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 2 large sized potatoes

 

• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (maida)

 

• 4 tablespoons corn flour

 

• 10 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)

 

• 2 – 4 green chilies slit or chopped

 

• 1 green capsicum (diced)

 

• 1 large onion (diced)

 

• 2 tablespoons chilli sauce

 

• 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup

 

• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce

 

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

 

• 3 spring onions (finely chopped)

 

• Salt to taste

 

Method

 

• Wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil them in the pressure cooker (with skin) for 2 whistles. Once done, let it cool down and then peel off the potato skin. Dice the potatoes into small cubes.

 

• Next, prepare the batter – mix the all-purpose flour (maida) and corn together. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and put a little bit of water to the mix (pour little by little) – the batter needs to be medium thick, not runny.

 

• Now place the peeled and diced potatoes in this batter and coat each potato well. Once the potatoes are coated with the batter, pour oil into a wok/pan and deep fry the potatoes on medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour. Add the potatoes one by one so that they don’t stick to each other and if they do you can separate them with a knife when they are almost 90% done.

 

• Once the potatoes are fried, take them out of the wok and place them on a tissue/napkin on a plate to soak the excess oil and start making the sauce.

 

• For the sauce, pour two tablespoons of oil into a hot a wok and add the finely chopped garlic and green chilies. Stir fry these for a minute and then add chopped onions and capsicum.

 

• Stir fry this on high flame and add little bit of salt to it. Once you see that the garlic has become little brown in colour, add in the sauces into this – chilli sauce, ketchup, barbecue sauce and soy sauce. Stir it well.

 

• Add a handful of finely chopped spring onions and if you have some batter left you can add about a table soon at this stage…  continue to stir fry for around 2 more minutes. If you feel the mixture is too thick, you can add a little bit of water.

 

• Add the potatoes now and give it a stir. Cook it for about a minute and turn off the flame … Your dish is now ready!

 

• Once you have plated the dish, garnish it with remaining chopped spring onion and serve hot as a snack or alongside paranthas 🙂
