Mean while , will prepare Potato
We have two ways to make it .
First healthy and second is non-heallthy.

In healthy way,

We need to boil Potato . Potato should not be too much boiled otherwise it won't work.
Potao shuld be half boiled. (You can also boil potato in microwave. It is the easier method ..In microwave , you can put potato for 6 -8 minutes for boil).

Cut the Potato into middle and divide into two parts


We need to stuff the potato, so With the help of knife or spoon of fork , take potato out and keep it aside for stuffing. Now, We have a space in potato to fill the stuffing.

prepare the stuffing,

Mix paneer, khoya, coconutpowder, cashews, raisins,salt, red pepper,cardamom powder, hing and left over potato (which we kept for stuffing). Mix well Now stuffing is ready .

Add the stuffed potato stir for 5 minutes more but on medim low gas.

Sorry for poor presentation :(

Other non-healthy way ....
You can take baby potatoes or medium size potato. Peel it and Prick with the help of fork on the potato and deep fry the potato on medium gas .( Don't deep fry on high gas otherwise it will beome brown in color rapidly but won't cook from inside).
It will take around 15-20 minutes.

Or you can do ...first boil the baby potatoes half and then peel and prick with the help of fork and deep fry .

Then same procedure cut the potato in two piece or if you are using baby potato so don't need to cut and can use full potato.



Add into gravy

....

I have used above three procedure.

Every way have their own taste.
So enjoy .....with your way :)
