Potato stuffed with minced meat or Meat balls

My mom used to make this snack during school days. She happened to eat this once when she was traveling. And soon she tried to prepare it at home. It came out well.

My mom prepares a vegetarian version of this recipe. Instead for non-veg filling she added coriander leaves chutney. It was yummy…Will make it it once…

I am not very sure about the exact ingredients she used. But this recipe tasted nice. It is filling 🙂
