How to make Crispy Chilli Potato (Step-by-Step Instructions)
How to Fry Potatoes and make them crispy
1)Take 5 medium size potatoes. Wash and peel them. Cut them into French Fries shapes.
2) Soak the sliced potatoes in water and add to a bowl. The water level should be slightly more than the soaked potatoes. Add ½ tsp salt and cook until 1 boil. After 1 boil, turn the flame to low and let it cook for 5 more minutes.
3) After 5 minutes, turn off the flame and strain the excess water.
4) Add the potatoes to a bowl. Add 2 tsp rice flour(chawal ka atta). If you don’t have rice four available, then you can use corn flour(make ka atta). Add slightly less than 2 tsp of All-purpose flour(maida). Mix it well so that the potatoes are coated evenly with the flour. This helps in making them crispy. Keep it aside for now.
5) To make it even more crispy, we will prepare a batter now. Take a bowl and add 2 tbsp rice flour and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Add ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp red chilli powder. Mix it well.
6) Now, gradually add water in small quantities to the mix and prepare a thick batter.
7) Add the potato slices into the batter and mix them well with your hands so that they are evenly coated with the batter.
8) Heat oil in a deep fry kadhai/pan on high flame. Once the oil is heated, add the potato slices one by one.
9) Fry the potato slices on high flame. They will change color and turn slightly golden brown.
10) Now, we will fry the fried potatoes again. Heat the oil and add the fried potato slices. They will get fried very quickly and change the color as shown below and in the recipe video. You can hear the sound of how crispy it has become.

11) Now we will prepare the spicy Chilli Potato Sauce. Heat 1-2 tbsp oil in a deep fry pan
