Cajun Potatoes

Who hasn't enjoyed the yummy and crispy Cajun potatoes served at Barbeque Nation? Here's my attempt at recreating the dish at home.

15 baby potatoes

3 tblsp corn flour

2 tblsp maida/ all purpose flour

Salt to taste

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp crushed pepper

Oil for deep frying

Ingredients for the sauce:

1 cup eggless mayonnaise

1/4 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp Peri peri masala powder (optional)

1 tblsp finely chopped onion or 1 tsp onion powder

Mix these ingredients in a bowl and keep aside.

For Garnish:

3 tblsp finely chopped onions

2 tblsp finely chopped coriander leaves

Wash baby potatoes and boil in the cooker, with skin , until 75% done .(do not over cook the potatoes)
Once they are done and cooled press them slightly between your palms, or using a potato masher.
To make dipping batter, mix corn flour, maida, salt, oregano and crushed pepper in a bowl, add water and make thick paste
Coat the potatoes with this paste and fry them on a medium flame until they turn crisp.
Place the fried potatoes in a serving plate, pour cajun potato sauce over the potatoes.
Garnish with chopped onions and coriander leaves, serve hot.
