Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 500 gm Baby Potatoes boiled until tender, then peeled
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Tamarind Sauce
- 2 Spring Onions sliced white and green parts separately
- 1 tbsp Ginger minced
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/2 cup Tamarind Pulp
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Water optional, to adjust sauce consistency
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Toss the boiled and peeled baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and salt. Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through. If not crispy enough, air fry for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Make the Tamarind Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the white parts of the spring onions and minced ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Combine and Finish
- Add the air-fried potatoes to the pan with the spring onion and ginger mixture. Stir in the tamarind pulp, soy sauce, sugar, and optional water (to thin if needed). Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the Crispy Tamarind Baby Potatoes immediately. Garnish with the chopped green parts of the spring onions. Enjoy as a snack, side dish, or part of a larger meal!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Tamarind Potatoes
- For extra crispy potatoes, pat them dry with a paper towel before air frying.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and soy sauce to your preferred level of sweetness and saltiness.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick!
