**************************** CHILLI POTATO FRY *************************
chili potato recipe | potato chilli recipe | crispy chilli potato recipe
Chilli potato is a starter snack and can be served as it is without any side or accompaniment. Though chilli potato is served as snack, I do prefer to serve it with some roti or bread or as a side with veg noodles or hakka noodles.
I make this chilli potato and schezwan chilli potatoes on occasion. Preparing Chilli potato is similar to making Chilli paneer, chilli mushroom or chilli gobi.
The best point of these recipes is that you can increase or decrease the amount of sauces and spices that go into it. So you can have a less spicy or a more spicy version of the same recipe. Thereby tailoring these recipes to suit your family’s taste buds.

*************************Tips for making chilli potato***********************
Potatoes can be baked, air fried or shallow fried.
Add some more water if the sauce looks very thick.
Always serve them hot as the crispiness in the potatoes can be felt when eaten hot.
You can use spring onions also. If using spring onions, then garnish with spring onion greens.
You can reduce green chillies and vinegar for a less spicier version of chilli potato.
You can also skip sugar. Sugar balances the sour taste. But if you do not like a sweet taste in chilli potatoes, then skip sugar.
