SESAME CHILLI POTATO

Popular Indo-Chinese recipe, seasame Chili Potatoes, owes it flavor to fiery red chilies. I like the deep fried restaurant version but I prefer the healthy home made method where the potatoes are boiled before being tossed in a sweet and hot sauce and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Very flavorful and looks appealing in the serving plate.
