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.
| Preparation Time: | 30 minutes |
| Servings: | 2 |
| Difficulty: | Medium |
Ingredients
| Big firm tomatoes | 2 |
| Boiled potatoes | 1 medium |
| Paneer | 1/2 cup |
| Green chilies | 3-4 |
| Cumin seeds (jeera) | 1/2 tsp |
| Red chilli powder (lal mirch) | 1/2 tsp |
| Coriander powder (dhaniya) | 1 tsp |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| Dried mango powder (amchur) | 1 tsp |
| Garam masala | 1/2 tsp |
| Oil | 1.5 tbsp |
Method
- Chop green chillies finely and keep aside.
- Cut boiled potatoes in small pieces.
- Heat one tbsp oil in a large pan. Add cumin seeds. Wait till the seeds puff up.
- Add chili powder and dhaniya powder and stir till fragrant.
- 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.
- Turn off the heat and keep the potato mixture aside.
- Cut each tomato in half.
- Remove the loose pulp from the tomato and rub a little salt inside.
- Fill tomatoes with the potato and paneer filling.
- 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.
- 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:
- The filling should always be a little more spicy than you would normally cook because it’s compensated by the mild shell.
