Bharwan tamatar (Stuffed tomatoes)

Hi Friends,
At the time of planning a party, we want to make some unusual dishes...especially the ones which look very attractive and are exclusive. The recipes which are innovative and add colour to dining table. Today I am going to share such a recipe called Bharwan tamatar (stuffed tomatoes)...here it goes...
BHARWAN TAMATAR (STUFFED TOMATOES):











INGREDIENTS:
Tamatar (Tomatoes)
Paneer (Cottage cheese)
Pyaz (Onion)
Lehsun (Garlic)
Adrak(Ginger)
Hari Mirch (Green chilies)
Hara dhania (Coriander leaves)
Namak (Salt)
Mozzarella cheese

METHOD:
Take firm large tomatoes. Wash them and cut from the top and also take off a thin slice from the bottom so that it can stand nicely in the pan or grill.
Scoop the interior of tomatoes carefully and keep the insides  for further use.
In a pan take some oil on medium heat. Add lots of chopped lehsun and ginger paste. Fry for a minute and then add chopped onion- fry till the onion turns red and then add the insides of tomatoes, chopped hari mirch, paneer and salt to taste. Fry for another 5 minutes, add chopped hara dhania and your filling is ready.
Fill the tomatoes with this filling and top up with a little mozzarella cheese. Put the stuffed tomatoes on a thick bottomed pan and cover with lid. Cook till done- we need to remember that tomatoes should not be over cooked else they will lose their shape and filling will come out. In any case tomatoes can be consumed raw so if they are not fully cooked, no problem- just cook it till the cheese on top melts.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.

TIP:
1.You can use the grill as well as baking process for this recipe. Can also try various fillings as per your taste.
2.This recipe can also be served as starters.
