    Jacket Potatoes was on my tobake list since I saw it in SK’s no oil cookbook. I just adapted the recipe from there but modified it according to my preference and convenience as usual and it turned out super good that it didn’t last that long.There is a lot of variation in jacket potatoes – I saw some with whole potatoes baked with skin but I preferred this way.It is a great appetizer/starter to serve for guests or for your kids, they will sure enjoy it.I loved the chilli flakes in each bite…hot and yummm!!

    Ingredients

    • 3 potatoes small
    • 1 cube cheese small grated

    Inner Stuffing:

    • 1/4 cup rajma
    • 2.5 tbsp big onion finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp garlic finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
    • a pinch oregano / mixed herbs
    • 3 tsp olive oil
    • salt to taste

    Outer Covering:

    • 1 tsp chilli flakes
    • 2 tsp olive oil
    • salt to taste
    • 1 tsp oregano

    Instructions

    • Soak rajma overnight or atleast for 8 hrs, then pressure cook along with required water for 5 whistles, set aside.
    • Heat a pan with oil – add onion,garlic and saute till golden brown.
    • Add tomato ketchup, oregano and saute for 3mins.
    • Then add cooked rajma and toss it well until the sauce nicely coats rajma.
    • Set the stuffing aside.
    • Boil 3 whole potatoes with skin for 4 whistles along with salt and water.
    • Peel of the skin and cut them into half and scoop out the inner part as shown in the pic.
    • Don’t dig in more just scoop it gently with a spoon.1 half crumbled so only 5 halves were there for me 🙂
    • In a mixing bowl – add all the ingredients listed under ‘For the outer covering’ mix well.
    • Then take each halved potatoe and sip it in the chilli flakes mixture so the outer surface of the potato is coated well with the chilli flakes mixture.
    • Arrange it in a baking tray with aluminium foil.
    • Meanwhile preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
    • Spoon the rajma mixture and carefully fill in each potatoes scooped portion.
    • Then add grated cheese.
    • Bake it for 15-20mins until cheese melts and outerlayer becomes slightly browned.
    • Serve it hot with extra cheese if you prefer 🙂

    Notes

    • Choose small tender potatoes so that it cooks faster and its easy to scoop.
    • Use little water to cook rajma so that there is no need to strain.
    • While scooping do not give pressure, just do it gently. I did not get it perfect too but its okay for first timer I guess 😉 I used the scooped potato portion for aloo paratha.
    • You can use any bean of your choice. Using smaller variety beans is easy to fit in the scooped portion so I suggest dried butter beans / soya beans.
    • If you do not have olive oil, then go ahead with cooking oil.
    • If you choose bigger potatoes then filling the stuffing will be easy but while eating, the outer layer of potato will be bland and not juicy.
    • You can even skip peeling the skin and bake it as such.
    • You can even grill it for the last 3mins to get a crispy outer layer but the cheese will get crispy too. If you prefer that way then go ahead.
