🥔 Bite 1: Perfect Potato Selection & Cutting
(English)
The first key to a great Honey Chilli Potato dish is the right kind of potatoes and how you cut them.
🔹 Potato Selection:
Choose starchy potatoes like russet or golden variety.
These become crispy when fried and don’t turn soggy or chewy.
🔹 Cutting Technique:
Slice the potatoes into thin fingers or baton shapes.
Each piece should be about 2.5 inches long and 0.5 inch thick.
Make sure all pieces are uniform in size for even frying.
💡 Pro Tip:
Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 15–20 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them extra crispy when fried.
(Hindi/Hinglish)
Sabse pehle baat karein potatoes ki – kyunki agar base hi sahi nahi hoga toh texture bigad jayega.
Potato Ka Selection:
Starchy potatoes jaise ki russet ya golden best hote hain.
Ye fry hone par crispy bante hain aur chewy nahi hote.
Cutting Trick:
Potatoes ko thin fingers ya baton shape mein kaatna hota hai.
Approx 2.5 inch lambi aur 0.5 inch moti slices ho.
Sab pieces same size ke ho taaki sab ek jaisa fry ho.
Pro Tip:
Cut kiye gaye potatoes ko 15–20 minutes tak thande paani mein bhigo ke rakhein. Isse starch nikalta hai aur crispiness badhti hai.
🔥 Bite 2: Double Fry for Ultimate Crunch
(English)
The magic of Honey Chilli Potato lies in its crunch. And the best way to achieve that is through double frying.
🔸 Frying Steps:
After soaking, pat the potato fingers dry using a kitchen towel.
Toss them in a mix of 3 tbsp cornflour, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and chilli flakes.
First fry: On medium heat until they’re light golden (around 3–4 minutes).
Second fry: On high heat just before serving – this gives the ultimate crispiness.
💡 Pro Tip:
Toss them in the sauce immediately after the second fry to keep them crispy but well-coated.
(Hindi/Hinglish)
Honey Chilli Potato ka asli magic uske crunch mein hota hai. Aur woh aata hai double frying se.
🔸 Step-by-Step Frying:
Soaked potatoes ko nikaal ke towel se dry kar lein.
Inhe cornflour (3 tbsp) + maida (2 tbsp) + salt + chilli flakes mein toss karein.
First fry: Medium heat pe potatoes ko fry karein till they are light golden. (About 3-4 mins)
Second fry: High flame pe dobara fry karein jab serve karne wale ho – ye step laata hai woh ultimate crisp.
💡 Pro Tip:
Second fry ko turant honey chilli sauce mein toss karein – crispy rehne ke chances zyada hote hain.
🍯 Bite 3: The Real Deal – Honey Chilli Sauce
