Ingredients

For The Potatoes
4 parboiled potatoes (unpeeled)
oil for deep-frying

To Be Mixed Into A Cream Cheese Topping
4 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp curds (dahi)
1 tbsp chopped capsicum
1 tbsp grated carrot
1 tsp dry red chilli flakes (paprika)
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
salt to taste

For The Garnish
1 tbsp finely chopped spring onion greens

Method

For the potatoes

Cut each parboiled potato into 2 halves vertically with help of a sharp knife.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep-fry the potato halves till they turn brown in colour from both the side. Drain on an absorbent paper and keep aside to cool slightly.
Scoop out the centre of each potato halve a little, using a spoon, so that a slight depression is formed for the topping. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Divide the cream cheese topping into 8 equal portions.
Fill each hollow deep-fried potato halve with the prepared cream cheese topping.
Serve immediately garnished with spring onion greens.
