<\/a>- \n
- 4-5 Potatoes50 grams butter or fat spread<\/li>\n
- Processed or soft Cheese (optional)<\/li>\n
- 1\/4th cup milk<\/li>\n
- 2 tbsp cream<\/li>\n
- 2 tsp Salt<\/li>\n
- 2 tsp Pepper<\/li>\n
- 2 tsp Chat Masala (to Indianize it)<\/li>\n
- 2 tsp Oregano (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Procedure:<\/h2>\n
1. Boil potatoes as usual, peel the cover and mash them<\/p>\n
2. Pre-heat the oven at 170c. I used the convection function on my microwave<\/p>\n
3. Add butter. I used\u00a0Nutrella fat spread as its cholesterol free, tastes just like Amul butter and provides better binding<\/p>\n
4. To keep the recipe low fat, I went easy on the cream, and used more milk instead<\/p>\n
5. Grated\u00a0cheese – processed or mozarella to make it thicker<\/p>\n
6. Salt,\u00a0pepper, chat masala & oregano and mix well to form a consistent mixture<\/p>\n
7. Grease (apply butter) to the surface of the baking dish and pour the mixture in it. If you do not plan to eat it right away, apply shrink-wrap to the dish and refrigerate.<\/p>\n
8. Bake in the oven for about 40mins at 170c, or until the surface changes color.<\/p>\n
9. If you’re making this for your wife or mother, make sure you return the platform spick-n-span \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
