Stuffed Tomato is my favorite side dish to make when someone comes home for dinner. It looks so good and tastes even better. In this recipe I have used potato and paneer filling but you can replace it with any filling of your choice.

Ingredients

Method

1. Chop green chillies finely and keep aside.
2. Cut boiled potatoes in small pieces.





3. Heat one tbsp oil in a large pan. Add cumin seeds. Wait till the seeds puff up.
4. Add chili powder and dhaniya powder and stir till fragrant.
5. Quickly add potato pieces, crumbled paneer, chopped green chillies, salt, amchur powder, and garam masala and mix thoroughly. Reduce heat. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir a few times and mash potatoes a bit.
6. Turn off the heat and keep the potato mixture aside.



7. Cut each tomato in half.





8. Remove the loose pulp from the tomato and rub a little salt inside.



9. Fill tomatoes with the potato and paneer filling.





10. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a nonstick pan. Place stuffed tomatoes on the pan upside down and cook them on medium heat for about 5 minutes till the filling is a little brown.



11. Once the bottom is brown, gently flip them upside down and brown the other side too. Cover the pan and cook for another 2 – 3 minutes and then turn off the heat. Tomatoes should stay firm. Stuffed Tomatoes are ready.

Notes:

1. The filling should always be a little more spicy than you would normally cook because it’s compensated by the mild shell.
