schezwan chilli potatoes recipe, how to make schezwan chilli potatoes

schezwan chilli potatoes recipe – fried crisp potatoes in a spicy & hot schezwan chilli sauce.

i make both the indo chinese recipes of this schezwan chilli potato and a chilli potato version often. this makes a good side dish to go with veg fried rice or hakka noodles. sometimes i also make chapatis to go with the dish. the folks at home love to dunk chapatis in any indo chinese gravy dish or sauce.

the schezwan chilli potatoes is spicy but also a bit tangy and sweet. usually schezwan sauce is added to make this dish. the recipe is loosely inspired from sanjeev kapoor's book on chinese cooking (India | US). in this recipe, a clever use of sichuan pepper or schezwan pepper is made. thus completely eliminating the addition of schezwan sauce.

so, instead of schezwan sauce, you can add red chili paste or red chili sauce and crushed schezwan pepper. if you don't have schezwan peppers, then just skip it. but then it will be just chilli potatoes and not schezwan chilli potatoes. you can also add red chili garlic paste, instead of the red chili paste.

serve the schezwan chilli potatoes hot with veg fried rice, veg hakka noodles or with your choice of bread or with naan or rotis.

step by step schezwan chilli potatoes recipe:

1. peel & cut the potatoes in wedges. keep the potatoes in cold water for 30 mins. drain them and add cornstarch, salt and pepper. mix well.

2.  shallow fry in a wok or kadai till the potatoes are crisp and golden.

3. drain on paper towels.

4. remove the extra oil from the wok and just keep about 1 tbsp oil remaining. add onions, green chilies, red chilies, ginger and garlic and stir fry on a high heat for a minute or two.

5. then add the crushed schezwan pepper and black pepper. stir fry for one or two minutes.

6. add the soy sauce, red chili sauce, salt and sugar.

7. stir and then add water or veg stock and let the sauce come to a simmer.
