Ingredients

For The Potatoes
4 boiled potatoes (unpeeled)

For The Bean Topping
3/4 cup baked beans
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 tsp chilli powder
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
salt to taste

To Be Mixed Together For Cream Cheese
1/2 cup thick beaten curds (dahi)
1 tbsp fresh cream
1/4 cup grated processed cheese
salt to taste

For The Garnish
a sprig of coriander (dhania)

Method
For the potatoes

Cut each potato horizontally into two.
Scoop the potato halves a little so that a slight depression is formed for the filling. Keep aside.

For the bean topping

Heat the butter in a broad non-stick pan, add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.
Add the baked beans, chilli powder, tomato ketchup and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Divide the topping into 8 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

Fill each potato halve with a portion of the bean topping and a dollop of cream cheese over it.
Serve immediately garnished with a sprig of coriander.

Handy tips:

Boil the potatoes in salted water so they do not taste bland.
If your child doesn’t like the potato skin you can always peel the potatoes and follow the recipe.
