Honey Chilli Baby Potatoes

Potatoes are an all time favourite of all. I am not too fond of them though unless the vegetable is the one eaten with pooris or the crisp sauteed type which is a common dish among Maharashtrians, the french fries which I love, specially the ones with herbs and truffle oil!! The baby potatoes made into a dry starter kind is what I enjoy. I have tried a new way of making them, sharing the same with all of you ......here goes the way I made them as an accompaniment with the Egg Schezwan Fried Rice. The dish gets a black and shiny, crisp texture and tastes awesome.

Ingredients

250 gms of baby potatoes, boiled, peeled and chopped into fours, squares to be precise
2 tbspns of soy sauce
10 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 tspns of ginger crushed
1 tspn of white pepper pounded freshly
1 tspn of chilli powder or adjust as per taste
2 tspns of flour of corn (makki ka aata) used for makki di roti
Salt to be used sparingly since the soy sauce has enough amount of salt
2 tbspns of olive oil
1 tspn of honey

1/2 cup finely chopped coriander to be added two minutes before taking the dish off the fire

Method

In a pan take live oil, add garlic, saute till golden brown, add the ginger and saute, now add the potatoes, mix well, add the rest of the ingredients except the honey, once the potatoes look fully coated, add the honey and the coriander. Now wait till the flour of the corn is coated on all the potatoes and they start to look crisp. The dish is done and can be had a s a starter or to go with any Chinese preparation. We relish it with phulkas also.
