Crispy Honey Chilli Potatoes are a super addictive snack - fried chilli potato fingers are tossed in a sesame honey chilli sauce that's sweet and spicy and will give you sticky fingers that you'll be licking

If you have ever eaten honey chilli potatoes, what really stands out is how crisp these potatoes are, in spite of being tossed in the sauce. They retain their signature crunch and that's really what this recipe is all about.

I really went all out to achieve that texture and taste. To make sure that soggy potatoes don't make it to the table because thats what makes these honey chilli potatoes so awesome. And you know me, when we are on a mission, we really go all out. So this recipe was tested multiple times with different batters, different proportions, timings etc. And finally we came to the conclusion that the key is to batter fry the potato fingers twice.

Hot And Spicy

The key to making super crispy honey chilli potatoes is to batter fry the potato fingers twice. Deep frying them only once results in potatoes that don't hold their shape and get soggy after a few minutes. So the potatoes are first coated in a dry mixture, deep fried till they are almost cooked and then cooled for a bit. They are then coated in a second coating of batter and deep fried again till they are really crisp outside and cooked perfectly inside. This is a similar technique that a lot of people use to make french fries.

The last step is to coat them in a sesame honey chilli sauce that adds an extra layer of texture and is sweet and spicy.

The honey chilli sauce is really addictive. Its sweet, spicy, sticky and like a coating on the potatoes. This is not meant to be a sauce.

7. Fry the batter coated potatoes on high heat. Make sure to add potatoes one at a time so they don't stick to each other too much. Fry the potatoes in batch so you don't overcrowd the pan

9. As soon as the potatoes are fried, heat oil in a large wok and add garlic. Saute the garlic for 30 seconds. Don't let it brown

10. Add sesame seeds and saute for another 30 seconds or so, being careful not to brown them or they can taste burnt
