Recipe: Chilli potato Chinese Style
- Base Veg: Potatoes // can be replaced with baby corn or mushroom
- Support Veggies: Onions, bell Peppers, Cabbage [ add-on ] , Spring Onions
- Spices : Chilli, Garli, Ginger, and Red peppper Dry
- Sauces:
- Gobi Manchurian Masala from the super market [ this is the quickest = else one will have to make that oneself ] some other chinese dry soup powders can also be tried out
- Soya Sauce
- Tomato Sauce
- Foundation: Corn Flour
- Oil for saute and Frying [ any oil I use ground nut, gingely, Coconut , typically a mix of all of them ]
- Flavoring:
- Lemon Grass powder, Ginger Powder,
- Vinegar
- Sugar / Jaggery
- Pepper
- Salt
- Utensils: Wok, ladles, boiling vessel
- Start with Dicing potatoes and boiling them with salt, based on your preference you can peel or leave the skin either ways it can be eaten, both are healthy, I prefer skin, less wastage and as I say the antidotes to the fruit / vegetable is in the skin,, surely some good bio-chemicals in the skin . This Takes ~10 Minutes and in parallel other things can be done
- Chop the Chilli, Ginger [ long shreds ] , Red Pepper [ 1 mm slices ] , Garlic and place then nicely on a plate
- Finely Chop Onion , Bell pepper, cabbage and Spring onions, [ this is add-on ] finely and place them on a plate
- Drop the veggies and Chilli Garlic and Ginger in a Wok and saute until gold brown onion
- In Parallel Add the Masala and Corn Flour and Make a nice loose paste mix with water
- Add the Paste once the saute is done and ensure enough oil not to allow the frying pan to get sticky
- As the water is lost and the mix become dry-oily, add Vinegar, Sugar Pepper, Salt and Soya Sauce along with Tomato sauce if needed based on preference
- By Now the potatos must be done
- Strain the potatoes and add them, the stock can be used as a health drink with pepper and other spices on the side esp for the cook
- Mix and let the ingredients meld into a nice chill potato
Recently I made
Chilli Potato chinese style this was a
quick evening snack that the family enjoyed, given some interest on the recipe
after S posted the same on her social network, I got down to writing the
recipe.
This dish can be
made in a few minutes < 10 minute, the key
is the amount of time to boil potatoes
What I am about to
describe is a class of dishes that can be made based on the base vegetable,
and the side add-ons …
Ingredients :
Ensure you have the
following handy [ quantity I leave it to the reader based on number of
servings and taste preferences
Recipe
This item is a
quick 15 min snack for the evening, my approach is to go with what ingredients
are available as long as the main categories { base, support, flavoring,, oil,
spice } are available
Hope you enjoyed
this simple recipe.
