Ingredients

  • About 6 Medium Sized Potatoes

  • 3 Medium Sized Tomatoes – Grated

  • 1 Medium Onion – Grated

  • 2 Cups Vegetable Oil for frying

  • 1/2 Cup Khoya Stuffing – can be bought from any Indian Store

  • 2 Teaspoon Salt or to taste

  • 2 Teaspoon Garam Masala and extra for garnish – can be bought from any Indian Store

  • 2 Teaspoon Red Chili Powder or to taste

  • 2 Teaspoon Coriander Powder

  • 2 Teaspoon Turmeric

  • 2 Teaspoon Ginger Paste

  • 2 Green Chilly – Cut into Small Pieces or to taste

  • Fresh Coriander Leaves for Garnish

Directions

  • First, peel the potatoes with a peeler or knife. Take a sharp knife or a melon baller and hollow the potato.
  • Be very careful, the potatoes break easily.
  • Take a frying pan and pour the oil into it. When the oil is warm and starts smoking slightly, fry the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Set aside.
  • Stuffing:
  • Take a small bowl and mix the khoya, salt, and garam masala by hand or with a spoon.  Take the potatoes and fill 3/4 of the potato with stuffing.
  • Gravy:
  • Start on medium heat and add 2 tbsp oil , wait until oil is hot
    put in the cumin seeds. They should start crackling instantly (if not, just wait until they do start crackling).
    Put the onions in next. Mix for about 3 minutes on medium heat.
    When the oil leaves the pan, or when the onions are somewhat brown, add the tomatoes, ginger paste, and green chillies.
    After two minutes of mixing, add the red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, and salt to taste.
    Mix, and then cover the pan for 1 minute. Add one cup of water. Cover the pan for about 3 minutes at medium heat. Put the potatoes in the gravy, gently mix, and leave for about 2 minutes.
  • To garnish, sprinkle some garam masala and put some coriander leaves on the top. Serve with naan, rice, or chapattis.
