No .... Don't think that I am going to Venice or came back from Venice . Last weekend we went to the "Festival City" in Dubai . I really surprised when I saw the canals like Venice & was thinking how romantic it is ...
Dubai is well known for their amazing architectual buildings . but this was really new for me . Here is the picture :

2. Peel the potatoes & keep aside .

3. Now in a small bowl mix paneer , 1 finely chopped onion , 2 green chillies , finely chopped coriender , salt & 1 tsp garam masala powder .

4. Once potatoes become cool take a spoon & scoop the potatoes carefully to make a hole in the middle of the potato . For this you need patience so that the potatoes don't break otherwise you can't stuff them .

5. Now put the paneer mixture in the scooped potatoes & keep aside .

6. Grind ginger , garlic in a food processor till smooth . Separately grind onion .

7. In a heavy bottom vessel add oil . When oil become hot add the sugar . Now add the cinnamon piece & bay leaves .

8. When the masala crackle add onion & Saute until onions gets soft.Add ginger-garlic paste & fry till raw smell goes .

9. Now add the tomato puree , turmeric powder , chilli powder . Fry in slow heat with occassional Stir to avoid from sticking to the bottom .

10. when oil start leaving add the cashew nut paste & youghut . At this point add salt

11. Now add 1/2 cup water & bring it to boil .

12. Once the gravy become slightly thick add the potatoes carefully so that it won't break . Let it cook for 7-10 min each sides . If needed add some more water . When gravy become thick remove from heat .

13. Garnish with some fresh chopped coriender & serve hot with some paratha or even rice & fresh salad .


Note : Handle the potatoes very carefully when you will place them in the gravy , or else it will break or stuffing will come out .
& when you will scoop the potatoes make sure the outoer wall of the potatoes should be thick enough to hold the stuffing .
