Instructions
Prepare the Potato Boats
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin shell. Parboil the potato shells for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Make the Filling
- Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté the chopped cashews and pistachios until lightly toasted. Add the chopped ginger and green chilies; sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, and cardamom powder. Add the grated tofu and salt; sauté for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the raisins at the end.
Assemble and Marinate
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the potato shells lightly with olive oil. Fill each potato boat with the tofu mixture. In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, turmeric powder, fenugreek leaves, garam masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. Pour the yogurt marinade over the filled potato boats, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake and Serve
- Bake the potato boats for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy. Sprinkle with chaat masala and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Potato Boats
- For extra crispy potato boats, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Feel free to adjust the spice levels to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili powder.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the potato boats in a conventional oven. Just adjust the baking time as needed.
- Get creative with your fillings! Try adding other vegetables like peas or corn, or different nuts and seeds for added texture and flavor.
