Expert Tips

  1. Allow the boiled potatoes to cool before peeling and frying so they hold their shape better.

  2. Cook the potatoes on medium-low heat to develop an even golden crust without burning them.

  3. Toast the peanuts before blending for a deeper, nuttier chutney flavour.

  4. Add the water gradually while blending so the chutney does not become too thin.

  5. Toss the potatoes with the chutney just before serving to maintain their crispness.

  6. Adjust the green chillies and lime juice according to your preferred spice and tanginess.
