Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Alur Khosha Bhaja


vegetables, indian, side dish, bengali

1 tablespoon besan
1 cup potato peels, firmly packed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white poppyseeds
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash cayenne

Put besan in a paper bag & add potato peels. Close the bag tightly & shake until the peels are evenly coated. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add poppyseeds & saute gently until lightly browned. Add salt & cayenne. Add the peels & fry until they are a medium-brown & crisp. Stir constantly: this will take anywhere up to 15 minutes. Remove from heat & serve hot or at room temperature. Bharti Kirchner, "The Healthy Cuisine of India: Recipes from the Bengal Region"
