Sesame Honey Chilli Potatoes

Its a very popular Indo-chinese dish, which goes well with both vegetarians as well as non-vegeterians. For our last potluck party the theme was chines food and while all the items were decided we needed one more appetizer for the vegetarians so I decided to prepare this very delicious and crunchy dish.
Ingredients:
  1. Potatoes: 3 Large peeled and cut into fingers like for french fries
  2. Garlic: 2 cloves  crushed
  3. Red chilli pwd: 1 tsp 
  4. Tomato sauce: 2 tbps
  5. salt : to taste
  6. oil: 1 1/2 tbsp
For sauce:
  1. Tomato sauce: 1 tbsp
  2. Red chilli sauce: 1 tsp 
  3. Vinegar: 2 tbsp
  4. Garlic : 2 cloves crushed
  5. Honey: 1 1/2 tbp
  6. Spring onion greens: 1 tsp chopped
  7. oil: 1/2 tbsp 
Procedure:
Mix oil, red chilli pwd, tomato sauce, crushed garlic and salt and place the potato fingers, in a ziplock bag and shake well.
Grease a baking tray and spread the potato fingers on the tray and bake at 200 degrees C for 35-40 mts.
You need to turn the potato fingers once during the baking process.
Heat a heavy bottomed vessel, add oil, add the crushed garlic and saute on high flame for few secs. Add the red chilli paste, tomato sauce and vinegar and combine.
Add the baked potatoes and toss for a mt on medium-high flame. 
Add the honey and toss the contents till well combined. Turn off heat. Adjust salt if required.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and garnish with spring onion greenand combine. Serve warm as a starter/appetizer and enjoy.

One thing to be remembered is the amount of potatoes will decrease after baked so if preparing for a bigger crowd, do remember to increase the quantities.
Till then happy blogging
