Method
 

  1. For Crispy Potatoes:
  2. Take 15–20 small potatoes and wash them thoroughly. Ensure there is no dirt, as the skin will be left on.
  3. Place the potatoes in a pressure cooker. Cook for only one whistle on high flame. This keeps the potatoes soft but firm.
  4. Transfer the cooked potatoes to a plate and let them cool completely.
  5. Place a potato on a chopping board and gently press with your palm to slightly flatten it. Avoid pressing too hard.
  6. Repeat this process for all potatoes.
Coating and Frying:
  1. In a bowl, mix corn flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
  2. Add water gradually to make a runny batter.
  3. Dip each potato in the batter and coat evenly.
  4. Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Fry the potatoes until golden and crispy.
  5. Remove the potatoes and place them on kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
For Cajun Mayo Sauce:
  1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili flakes, mixed herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and Kashmiri chili powder.
  2. Mix thoroughly. Add milk gradually to achieve a creamy consistency.
  3. Assembling Cajun Spiced Potatoes:
  4. Place the crispy potatoes on a serving plate.
  5. Pour the prepared Cajun sauce over the potatoes.
  6. Garnish with onion, coriander, and a sprinkle of red chili powder.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy with friends and family.

Notes

  • Do not overcook potatoes.
  • You can use regular potatoes, just chop them into big pieces. 
  • In Cajun sauce, adjust the spices according to your taste.
  • Flour batter should not be very thick or thin.
