Ingredients
 

For finger chips

  • 600 grm or 3 medium size potatoes
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp red chilli flakes
  • ½ cup coriander leaves
  • 1 cup poha
  • Oil for frying

For schezwan dip

  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp schezwan sauce

For garlic dip

  • ½ cup hung curd
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • Salt to taste
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp vinegar
  • Some coriander leaves
  • 3-4 grated garlic cloves

Instructions

Making finger chips

  • Wash and peel three medium-sized potatoes, then cut them into small pieces.
  • Wash the potato pieces and drain the water completely.
  • Boil 3–4 cups of water and add the potato pieces along with salt. Boil until the potatoes are fully cooked and soft.
  • Drain the boiled potato pieces using a sieve and let them cool completely. Ensure they are completely dry with no moisture.
  • Transfer the boiled potatoes to a mixing bowl and mash them thoroughly.
  • Add salt, 1 tablespoon of red chili flakes, and some chopped coriander leaves.
  • Grind 1 cup of poha into a fine powder using a mixer jar.
  • Gradually add the poha powder to the potato mixture until it binds into a semi-soft dough.
  • Do not let the dough rest. Divide it into two equal parts. Take one part and roll it into an oval shape. Trim the edges to form a square, then cut it into medium-thick strips. (Refer to the video.)
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add the fries to the oil—initially, keep the flame high so they retain their shape. Then, reduce the flame to medium and fry until crispy and golden brown.
  • Remove the fried finger chips and place them on a wire rack. Fry the remaining chips in the same way.
  • Serve the crispy finger chips with Schezwan dip and garlic dip.

Making schezwan dip

  • In a mixing bowl, add 4 tbsp mayonnaise and 2 tbsp schezwan sauce. Mix well.
  • Schezwan dip is ready.

Making garlic dip

  • In mixing bowl, add ½ cup hung curd, 4 tbsp mayonnaise, salt, pinch of black pepper, 1 tsp sugar, ¼ tsp vinegar and some coriander leaves and 3-4 grated garlic cloves. Mix well.
  • Garlic dip is ready. Serve with finger chips.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into small pieces so they cook easily.
  • Let the boiled potato pieces cool down completely to remove excess moisture.
  • Grind poha into a fine powder. Gradually add poha powder to the mixture until it binds into a semi-soft dough. Poha absorbs water and makes the finger chips crispy.
  • You can use cornflour instead of poha powder.
  • Cut the chips into medium-thick slices. Do not cut them too thin.
  • Fry the chips on a medium flame.
