Baked Potatoes (microwave)

Ingredients

• Potatoes, of uniform size       4 large (500-600g)
• Salt and powdered Black Pepper to taste
• Oil to rub the potatoes with
• Hung curd      ¾ cup (150 g)
• Salt      1 tsp or to taste
• Powdered Black pepper 1/8 tsp
• Celery (or herb of choice), chopped 1 tbsp

Preparation

• 1. Wash and scrub potatoes and wipe them dry. Rub potatoes with salt, pepper and oil and prick with a fork at two or three places, so that they do not burst while baking.

• 2. Place potatoes on a microwaveable dish or directly on the rack. Cook covered at HI for 4 minutes, flip over and cook anther 4 minutes.

• 3. Remove from oven and check for doneness (should be able to dent them with the thumb and forefinger, without much pressure). In case not done, cook for some more time.

• 4. Grill uncovered, in the grilling mode (or in a separate grill if you don’t have the grill mode) for 2-3 minutes so that the covering becomes a bit crisp. (a little longer if potatoes have cooled down.).

• 5. Mix the curd, salt, pepper and celery.

• 6. Make a cross cut, like a plus sign, in the centre of one flat side of the potato, place the forefinger and thumbs of both hands in each corner formed by the plus sign, and press. A place is thus created for the dressing. Place some dressing in this and serve.
