In a bowl, mix smashed potato, half of finely chopped onions, 1/3rd of finely chopped chillies, corn flour, soya sauce and schezwan sauce. Mix it well. Check for salt. As sauces already have salt content adjust accordingly. Make small balls applying a little oil on your palms. Keep it in deep freezer for 5-10 minutes

In a shallow pan, put the oil and when it heats up, lower the flame and put the balls carefully. Fry till golden brown and remove it on to a kitchen towel.

For making sauce

In a bowl, mix every ingredients under sauce. Be careful regarding salt.
In the same pan, where you fried potato balls, if there is very little oil add a spoon more and fry the rest of finely chopped chillies. when translucent add the green chillies (keep a little aside for garnishing).

Now add in the sauce mix and allow it to come to a thicker sauce. Dont make it too thick. Switch off the flame

When you are all set to eat, put the potato balls in the sauce. This will retain the crunchiness of the balls. Garnish with the rest of green chillies
Notes
You may add finely chopped garlic and ginger while making sauce.
Be very careful in adding salt as most of the sauces have salt content. Taste before adding
