Harissa is a spicy paste made out of hot chili peppers and other spices. It is widely used in Moroccan and other North African cuisine. Harissa is bold,spicy and flavourful which very well fits into Indian cuisine too because of the commonly used Indian spices in it

I love this paste and I use it widely in my cooking. Add it to any vegetable stir fries, use it as sandwich spread,add to stews or make a marinade out of it for kebabs. Being from Odisha (An Indian state in eastern part) potato is a staple vegetable in our daily diet.We adore anything that is done with potato. if you are looking for easy and quick to prepare party snacks these bite sized roasted baby potatoes are prefect choice.You can marinate and refrigerate them and grill on a hot pan just before serving

  • ½ tbsp mint leaves chopped (I used dried)

  • Coriander and mint chutney for serving

Instructions

  • For making harissa first slightly roast coriander,cumin and caraway seeds and once cooled down grind to fine powder. Drain water from chillies.Grind together chilies,garlic and the spice powder by adding oil little at a time.
  • Pat dry the potatoes in a kitchen towel and prick potatoes in few places with a fork.
  • Add in harissa and other ingredients to the potatoes and coat them nicely with the paste.Keep refrigerated for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat a grill pan. Meanwhile insert the potatoes into the skewers.
  • When the pan is smoking hot put the skewered potatoes into the pan in batches and grill each side for 5-8 mins until the potatoes are nicely roasted.

Notes

Notes:
Adjust the amount of harissa depending on how spicy you want the kebabs to be.
While making harissa grinding the dry ingredients first is necessary else you will end up with a grainy paste.
As there is no water in the paste it can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator up to one week.
Grilling the potatoes in batches is necessary because adding everything together will lower the pan temperature and you will not get the required smoky flavour.
