Cook: 25 mins
Serves: 4
Difficulty: Medium

Method

Halve the potatoes lengthwise and carefully scoop out the centres, leaving shells about 1 cm thick.
Mash the scooped potato and mix it with paneer, roasted peanuts, 11 g of Bharwa Achari Masala, salt, lemon juice, coriander and 5 ml oil.
Taste the filling, adjust the salt only if required and pack it firmly into the potato shells.
Heat the remaining oil in a wide pan and place the stuffed potatoes filling-side down. Cook for four to five minutes until lightly golden.
Turn carefully, add a small splash of water if the pan is dry, cover and cook on low heat for eight to ten minutes.
Uncover, brown the edges for two minutes and serve hot with roti, dal or plain curd.

Kitchen notes

Boil the potatoes only until just tender so the shells remain firm enough to scoop, fill and turn in the pan. Bharwa Achari Masala contributes regular salt and black salt; use the measured seasoning salt below, then adjust only after tasting near the end of cooking.

Ingredient Notes

The filling contains paneer and roasted peanuts.

Preparation Notes

Start with the potatoes already boiled until just tender and peeled before scooping and filling them.
