Cheesy Tandoori Aaloo is a fusion dish where I have combined tandoori aaloo with some cheesy mayo stuffing! Aaloo, i.e. potatoes are marinated with a tandoori sauce and baked with a delicious cheesy stuffing.
Potatoes are actually very nutritious, but if had in the right way. In this dish, boiling and then baking help us keep the nutrients intact upto a certain level, not to forget the addition of the nutritious cottage cheese and bell peppers!
We all crave for some delicious, junk food at some time or the other, or just a slight variation from our regular meals. This dish when served with some fresh salad, not only satisfies our cravings but is quite filling too inspite of being very nutritious!

Steps

13-15 min

1

Boil potatoes for 20-25 minutes in sufficient water, uncovered in a colander, or till done. Avoid overcooking.
2

When the potatoes are just done, drain out all the water and let cool.
3

Peel the potatoes and cut them horizontally into two equal parts.
4

Scoop out the mid portion of the boiled potatoes, to make small hollows in them.
5

Transfer the scooped out boiled potato to a mixing bowl and mash it and add to it all the ingredients mentioned for the stuffing giving it a good mix.
6

In the meantime mix all the ingredients mentioned for the tandoori marinade and smear it well over the peeled and scooped boiled potatoes from all sides.
7

Place these over a greased baking tray and fill up their hollows with the prepared stuffing.
8

Smear them with some melted butter, though this step is totally optional and I have avoided doing it.
9

Bake these potatoes in a preheated oven at 200° C for about 13 – 15 minutes.
10

Serve these delicious Cheesy Tandoori Aaloo with some Fresh Vegetable Mayo Salad by the side!
