  • salt to taste
For the filling
  • 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
  • 1 cup red pepper (capsicum), finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic (lehsun), finely chopped
  • 2 to 3 green chillies, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp fresh cream
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzrella cheese or cooking cheese , grated
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • salt and black pepper (kalimirch) powder to taste
For the filling
  1. Heat the butter in a pan, add the broccoli, red pepper, garlic and green chillies and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add the cream, salt and pepper and sauté for 2 more minutes. Remove from the fire.
  3. Add the cheese and mix well.
  4. Cut each boiled potato into 2 halves horizontally.
  5. Scoop the potato halves, using a spoon so that a depression is created for the filling.
  6. Sprinkle each potato half with some salt. Fill the potato halves with the filling mixture and mound it up slightly.
  7. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Tips
  1. If the potatoes have been refrigerated after they have been boiled.
  2. Then you will have to bake them in the oven for at least 10 to 12 minutes at a lower temperature approx.160°c (320°F) before you will fill them.
