    Crispy Chilli Potatoes - Hakka-style

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Chilli Potatoes is one of those recipes that's quite simple to make, uses limited ingredients and needs to be enjoyed fresh off the stove! This dish tastes best just when it comes off the heat - while the potatoes are still crisp along the edges with the flavourful sauce permeating through it.

    If you know me at all, then you'd know that Indian Hakka - or more explicitly, Indian-style Chinese, is one of my favourite cuisines to indulge in! I absolutely love the robust, aromatic flavours and can never get enough of them! Over the years, I've shared quite a few of my staple Indo-Chinese recipes on this blog - Chilli Chicken, Gobi Manchurian, Chilli Paneer and Fried Rice, to name a few. And this recipe for Crispy Chilli Potatoes is another crowd-pleaser added to that long list.

    One of my favourite things about Indian-style Chinese or Hakka cuisine is the mix of spices and sauces from both regions. India and China are each so diverse in their food options and marrying the two together is just pure genius, in my opinion! Whoever came up with this idea to do so - hats off to you!

    If you plan on serving this for a crowd, I'd suggest keeping the sauce ready and tossing in the fried potatoes just when you're about ready to eat.

    You can serve this alongside some Fried Rice or Noodles. Add in a side of Chilli Chicken and Gobi Manchurian to make a complete Hakka meal, or serve it on its own as a lip-smacking snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
