- 2 tbsp Hung Yogurt (greek yogurt can be substituted)
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste

Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out the centers, leaving about a ½-inch border. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake at 160°C (320°F) for 45 minutes.
Make the Spicy Tomato Sauce
- Heat 4 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Add the crushed garlic and chopped chili; sauté until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat. Blend until smooth.
Prepare the Cheese Sauce
- In a bowl, combine the chopped garlic, grated cheese, lemon juice, salt, and hung curd. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until a smooth sauce forms. Season to taste.
Assemble and Serve
- Once the potatoes are baked, carefully fill the scooped-out centers with the spicy tomato sauce. Top generously with the cheese sauce and sprinkle with dried parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
