Potato baked with peas filling

I prepared this dish for Dhivya’s potato event but could not post on time. It is good snack for children.

Ingredients

• Large size potato - 3 nos
• Green peas - 1 cup
• Onion - 1
• Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Garam masala powder - 1 teaspoon
• Green chillies - 2 nos
• Coriander leaves - 3 twigs
• Tomato puree - 2 tablespoons
• Oil- 1 tablespoon
• Hing - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Grated cheese - 3 table spoons (or cheese singles - 3 pieces)

Method

1. Wash the potatoes well and pressure cook. Peel and cut into two length wise.
2. Scoop out the center. Now the potato halves will look like shallow cups.
3. MW the peas with 1 tablespoon water and hing for 4 minutes.
4. Finely chop the onions, green chillies and coriander.
5. Heat oil in a kadai, add the onions and fry for 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree and keep stirring till the oil separates.
6. Add the ginger garlic paste, green chillies, coriander leaves, garam masala and salt and mix well.
7. Add the boiled peas and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring continously.
8. Fill the potato cups with the pea curry, top with grated cheese or cheese singles.
9. Place the potato cups in an oven proof dish. Bake in a hot oven till the cheese melts.
