• Add potato fingers and coat well.
  

Fry the Potatoes

• Heat oil and fry the potatoes on medium flame until half cooked.
• Remove and let them rest for 2 minutes.
• Fry again on high flame for extra crispiness (double frying gives restaurant-style texture).
• Keep aside.

• Heat oil in a wok.
• Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
• Add spring onion whites and capsicum; stir-fry for a minute.
• Add red chilli sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, and chilli flakes.
• Pour water and bring to a boil.
• Add cornflour slurry and mix until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
• Lower the flame and add honey.

Notes

• Double frying gives the best crunchy texture.
