Step 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Heat oil in a large pot and fry the potatoes until they turn a nice light golden color. Once done, drain and set them aside.

In a pan, heat some oil and add the chicken. Cook it for about 3-4 minutes. Then, sprinkle in chili flakes, salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin seeds. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
Step 3
Pour in a little water, cover the pan, and let the chicken cook for another 2 minutes until it’s tender and soft. Then, turn off the heat.
Step 4
For the sauce, mix together red chili sauce, mustard paste, peri peri sauce, tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, oregano, and paprika in a bowl until smooth.
Step 5
In a serving bowl, layer the fries, then the cooked chicken, and drizzle the sauce on top. Garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
