Chili paneer Gobi manchurian
Drain the water from the potatoes and pat dry them. Mix this well with the powders in the bowl. Heat the oil in a pan and when it is hot, slowly put the potatoes in oil. Do not crowd the pan, add in batches. Ensure that the potatoes do not stick to each other while frying. Put the potatoes one by one.
Fry till golden brown and drain the extra oil in the kitchen towel.
Potato 2 Bell pepper | Capsicum 1/2 Spring onion few Corn flour 2 tblsp Maida | all purpose flour 2 tblsp Sesame seeds 2 tsp Red chili powder 1 tsp Green chili 2 Honey 2 tsp Pepper powder 1/2 tsp Garlic 4 pods Soya sauce 1/2 tsp Tomato sauce 1/2 tsp Oil to deep fry + 1 tblp Salt to taste
Chop the garlic finely. Cut the capsicum into small cubes. Chop the spring onion whites. In a pan add 1 tbslp of oil and add the chopped garlic and the spring onion whites. When they turn slightly golden brown, add the capsicum and saute for a minute.
Add the 2 slit green chilis and cook for a minute. Add the soya sauce,pepper powder and tomato sauce. I used the ketchup. Now add the honey.
Discard the green chilis now. The flavour is enough. Now add in the deep fried potatoes. Gently toss it well and cook in a high flame to a minute . Careful not to burn it. Cooking in high flame gives crunchiness to the potato. Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onion greens.
This starter has to be served hot so that it will be crispy.
