Method to make Chilli Honey Potatoes:

• Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into medium-thick, long pieces.
  
  
  
• Boil water in a saucepan. Add salt. Once the water comes to a boil, add the potatoes.
  
  
  
• Boil for about 4-5 minutes. Remove and strain out the water. Let the potatoes cool.
  
  
  
• In a mixing bowl, combine refined flour, rice flour and water and make a thick batter.
  
  
  
• Coat the potatoes in this batter and fry them on medium-hot oil. Keep them aside. If you want to make the chilli honey potatoes extra crispy, you can fry them once again after they are cooled.
  
  
  
• In a big pan, heat oil
• Add chopped garlic. Fry till they change colour.
  
  
  
• Add chillies, followed by sliced capsicum and spring onion greens. Fry on high heat.
  
  
  
• Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, black pepper sauce, honey and green chilli sauce. Mix well.
  
  
  
• In a small bowl, combine water and cornflour and mix well. Add this to the pan.
  
  
  
• Add salt and sugar. Mix and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Add the fried potatoes. Mix well so that the sauces coat the potatoes.
  
  
  
• Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve.
