What Makes This Recipe So Good
These golden, crunchy spirals are a fun twist on classic fries. They offer a satisfying crunch with a soft inside, making them a perfect snack or side. Plus, their unique shape adds a playful touch to any meal.
Step 1
Mash the boiled potatoes in a big bowl. Then add the chopped onion, chillies, chilli sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, chilli flakes, pepper, and coriander leaves. Give everything a good mix.
Step 2
Crack in the eggs and sprinkle the cornflour over the potato mixture. Stir it all together until it’s smooth but still a little thick—kind of like a thick batter.
Step 3
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
Step 4
Heat some oil in a pan over medium-low heat. When it’s ready, pipe the potato mixture into jalebi-like spirals, making 2 or 3 circles at a time.
Step 5
Fry them gently until they turn a lovely light golden brown and get crispy.
Step 6
Drain on paper towels and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Refrigeration Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispiness instead of microwaving, which can make them soggy.
