Heavenly Sesame Potatoes in Sweet Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
Serves: 2
2 large potatoes, cut into wedges (I used russet potatoes)
1 large onion, chopped fine
2 tomatoes, sliced into small pieces
1 small capsicum (or half of one), chopped fine
2 tsp soya sauce
1/2 tsp brown sugar or honey (white sugar is also fine)
1 tsp crushed garlic (or 1/2 tsp garlic paste)
1 tsp red chilly powder
2 tbsp gingelly / sesame oil
(must use this oil)
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves or spring onions, for garnish
How to make Honey Chilli Roasted Potatoes:
1. Shallow fry the potato wedges in oil until golden brown. Set aside to drain on a kitchen napkin.
2. In the remaining oil, add the onions and garlic and fry until golden brown. Then add the chilly powder and fry for a minute. Then add the tomatoes and saute until soft and mushy.
3. Turn heat to high and add the soya sauce and sugar. Fry on high for a minute and lower to medium heat. Add the capsicum and salt and mix well. Remove from fire after about 3-5 minutes.
4. Spoon this sauce over the potatoes and serve warm with garnish.
