Our very own version of the “Baked Stuffed Potato”, fondly named by street vendors as a “Bomb”. Whole potatoes scooped and stuffed with a chatpata paneer filling and topped with spicy green chutney and crispy sev.
Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds and asafoetida.
When the cumin seeds crackle, add the green chillies, paneer, black salt and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, while stirring continuously.
Add the coriander and mint and mix well.
Divide the filling into 4 equal portions and keep aside.
How to proceed
Cool the potatoes completely and cut each potato horizontally into 2 halves.
Scoop the center of each potato half a little, using a spoon so that a light depression is formed for the filling.
Fill 1 portion of the filling into each potato case and press them well so the filling does not spill out.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle), place the stuffed potato cases on it with the stuffed side facing upwards and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, using a little butter.
Turn them upside down and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute.
Top with the sev and green chutney and serve immediately.
