Boil the Potatoes:
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Place them in a pressure cooker, add just enough water to cover the potatoes, and cook for 1 whistle. After the first whistle, turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally. Drain the potatoes, peel them, and set them aside. -
Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium flame. Add the finely chopped onion and green bell pepper (capsicum) to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly while maintaining their crunch. -
Prepare the Spice Mixture:
Once the onion and bell pepper have softened and slightly changed color, add salt, black pepper powder, and the sweet and spicy red chili sauce. Stir everything together to combine. The sweetness of the sauce and the spice from the chili will begin to coat the vegetables. -
Toss the Potatoes:
Add the boiled and peeled baby potatoes to the pan with the spiced vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated with the spice blend. Increase the heat slightly and sauté for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the potatoes. -
Add the Mayonnaise:
Lower the heat and stir in the classic mayonnaise. Mix well until the creamy mayonnaise coats the potatoes and vegetables. This will bring a rich, smooth texture to the dish, balancing out the tanginess of the mustard and heat from the chili. -
Finish and Serve:
Turn off the flame and transfer the salad to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped spring onion greens for an extra burst of freshness and color.
Tips for Success:
- Potatoes: Choose firm, waxy baby potatoes for the best texture in this salad. These potatoes hold their shape when boiled and provide a creamy bite.
- Chili Sauce: Adjust the amount of red chili sauce to your taste. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less, or for more heat, add a little extra.
- Make it Ahead: This salad can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge. Serve it warm by reheating it gently before serving.
