Honey chilli potatoes are a popular Indo-Chinese dish that combines the sweetness of honey with the spiciness of chillies, along with the crispiness of fried potatoes. The dish usually consists of bite-sized potato pieces that are deep-fried until crispy and golden brown, and then tossed in a sauce made of honey, soy sauce, vinegar, red chilli sauce, and garlic.
The sweet and tangy sauce is what makes honey chilli potatoes so delicious, and it coats each potato piece evenly, giving it a sticky, glossy appearance. Some recipes also add vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and spring onions to the dish, giving it additional texture and flavor.
Honey chilli potatoes are typically served as an appetizer or a snack, but they can also be enjoyed as a main dish when served with steamed rice or noodles. The dish is loved for its balance of flavors, as well as its crispy texture and attractive appearance.

Method:
Cut the peeled potatoes into thick french fries as shown in the video.
Bring water to a roaring boil in a stock pot, add vinegar & salt along with the cut potatoes.
Cook the potatoes for 3-4 minutes, then remove the potatoes from the water using a large spider & transfer them onto a sieve & let them cool down completely.
To make the batter add the refined flour, corn flour, salt, black pepper powder, baking soda & chilled water into a large bowl & whisk continuously to make a semi thick batter, make sure you add the water gradually while whisking continuously.
Further dip & coat the blanched potatoes in the batter & fry them in moderately hot oil (165 C) over medium high flame until light golden brown.
Once the potatoes turn light golden brown, transfer them into a sieve & let them rest for 5 minutes & let the oil heat slightly more (180 C).
Double fry the potatoes in hot oil once they have rested, fry them until they become golden brown & super crisp then transfer them into a sieve, your fried crispy potatoes are ready.
To make the sauce heat a wok over high flame & then add the oil & heat the oil as well.
Further add ginger, garlic & green chilli, stir & cook over high flame for a few seconds.
Then add spring onion bulbs, schezwan sauce & the remaining ingredients of the sauce, stir well & cook over high flame for 1 minutes & then add a splash of water, then bring the sauce to a simmer.
Further add the corn flour & water in a separate bowl, stir well to make a slurry, then add the slurry while stirring the sauce continuously.
Once the sauce thickens, lower the flame & add the fried potatoes along with fresh coriander & spring onion greens, toss & coat the potatoes well with the sauce, make sure you don’t cook a lot at this stage or else the potatoes will turn soggy.
Your honey chilli potato is ready.
