Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes
  • 150ml Greek yogurt
  • 1½ tsp each garam masala and cumin powder
  • 1½ tsp each garlic and ginger paste (see instructions below)
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 tsp lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 200g ricotta
  • 3 spring onions , finely sliced
  • 2 green chillies , finely chopped
  • small bunch coriander , finely chopped
  • 1½ tsp cumin powder
  • 1¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • handful cashews , roughly chopped
  • 4 tsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Slice the rounded ends off the potatoes, then use an apple peeler and small knife to hollow out the potato, leaving a 1-2cm edge all the way around.
  • Mix together the ingredients for the paste and the ingredients for the filling, seasoning both mixtures – I tend to over-season both mixtures as the potato will absorb some of the salt.
  • Fill the potatoes with the ricotta mixture, then coat in the paste. Sit the potatoes in an ovenproof dish, spoon any remaining paste on top, then cook for 50 mins-1 hr until the potato is soft when pierced with the tip of a knife. Serve thickly sliced with a salad of tomato, onion and coriander.
