Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes

For the tandoori paste

For the filling

Method

  • STEP 1

    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.

  • STEP 2

    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.

  • STEP 3

    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.

RECIPE TIPS
TIP

To make garlic or ginger pastes, finely grate garlic or ginger, or whizz in a food processor with a little water. Fresh pastes will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a week, or can be frozen in ice-cube trays.
