Boil potatoes:

  • Pour this batter on boiled potato fingers. Ensure that each potato finger is coated with batter.

Deep fry the batter coated potato fingers:

  • Heat a kadai/wok and heat oil for deep frying. After oil is hot enough, drop potato finger in it one by one in batches of 10 and deep fry till it is crispy. Ensure that the potato fingers don’t stick to each other while deep frying.

Drain extra oil from deep fried potatoes:

  • After deep frying, place all the deep fried potato fingers on a kitchen towel. Let the extra oil get drained.

Saute the vegetables:

  • Heat a wok and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add finely chopped garlic and ginger and fry till raw garlic smell goes away.

  • Drop boiled batter coated potato fingers in prepared sauce and mix well.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onion greens.

Notes

  • While frying potato fingers, fry in small batches so that they don't stick to one another.
  • To make extra crispy, you might want to fry the potatoes 1 more time.
  • Serve hot, else the potato recipe will get soggy.
