Ingredients

• 3 large potatoes cut into the shape of french fries and par boiled
• 2-3 tbsp of cournflour/corn starch
• 1 tsp soya sauce for the potatoes fingers
• salt to taste
• oil for deep frying
• 1/2 of 1 large onion thinly sliced
• 1/2 of 1 medium sized capsicum cut into thin strips
• 2 fat garlic cloves chopped
• 2 tbsp of Schezwan sauce or as required
• 1 tbsp of tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp of soy sauce
• 2 tbsp of vinegar
• 2 tbsp of chopped spring onion
• 1 tsp of chilly flakes or as required
• 4 tbsp of water + 1/2 tsp of cornflour
• salt to taste
• 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp oil for the gravy

Method

1. I have mentioned that the potato pieces needs to be par boiled.It is nothing but potatoes boiled in boiling water till they are soft.We don't need to cook them completely.Hence par-boil them int the water.(Add a bit of salt in the water while boiling them).
2. To the boiled potato pieces add in the corn starch (2tbsp),salt(not too much) and soy sauce(tsp).Give it a mix.Make sure you don't break the pieces.
   
3. Heat oil in a vessel for deep frying.Once the oil is hot drop in the coated pieces of potato and fry them till they are golden brown.If the vessel in which you decide to fry is not big enough then fry the potato pieces in batches.Once fried keep them aside.
   
4. Add oil in a wok or pan.Once the oil is hot add in the garlic.Saute till it slightly changes it's color.
   
5. Once that done toss in the onions.And saute till it starts to sweat.
   
6. Add in the capsicum and cook for another minute.
   
7. Mix the the Schezwan sauce,tomato sauce,Soy sauce and vinegar.Add in the chilly flakes.Mix everything completely and cook for a minute or so.
   
8. Sprinkle the chopped spring onions.Now mix corn starch with water and pour it in the gravy.This is done to thicken up the gravy and give it a perfect consistency.I have kept a very dry gravy.But If you don't want it that dry then increase the quantity of water and corn starch(if required).Add salt as per taste.Add in the fried potato fingers and Toss it gently without breaking them.Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
   
9. Cook for few seconds and turn off the heat.Serve them instantly and Eat it up! :)
