Directions

  1. Grind coriander seeds with mustard seeds until smooth. Add ground turmeric and garam masala.
  2. Mix finely chopped onion with chilli and finely chopped coriander root. Add crushed garlic with salt, grated ginger and curry leaves.
  3. Gently fry the onion and spice mixes in the butter until onion is soft. Add the lemon zest and juice and the fresh or frozen peas and remove from heat.
  4. Split baked potatoes down the middle and carefully scoop out the flesh so as not to wreck the shells. Mix potato flesh with masala mix, a handful of chopped coriander leaves and a little olive oil. Season to taste. Stuff back into potato shells and re-bake until hot. Serve with a garlicky mint and coriander yoghurt sauce.
