Chilli Aloo is an excellent Indo-Chinese dishes in Golden fried potatoes tossed with bell peppers, onions and the exotic sauce adds remarkable taste and flavour to the dish.
Everything about this starter is peppy – from the potato fingers to the sauce. Unlike many recipes, which derive the flavour mainly from the sauce and seasonings, here the potatoes perked up with garlic and chilli powder, even before deep-frying, to make sure that the flavour seeps in right to the core. The crisp potato fingers are then tossed with more garlic, spices, sauces and of course, honey, to make mouth-watering Honey Chilli Potatoes. This sweet and spicy treat can be served as a starter or as an accompaniment for noodles or fried rice.

-Wash and peel the skin from potatoes. Slice them into wedges in the same way as we do for french fries. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes.
