Est. Time: 35-45 min  •  9 Preparation Steps

Chef's Menu Description

An authentic Indian specialty cooked with freshly ground roasted spices, caramelised onions, and aromatic herbs in the traditional style.

Ingredients

  • • 1 large potato (grated)
  • • 2 slices smoked salmon (you can use bacon medallions if you prefer)
  • • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • • low calorie cooking spray
  • • 2 medium eggs
  • • small pan of water
  • • slotted spoon
  • • cling film
  • • ramekin or small bowl/cup
  • • low calorie cooking spray

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Grate the potato into a clean tea towel. Fold the towel around the potato to form a ball and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible, then season.

2
Phase 2

Heat a non stick frying pan over a medium heat and a few sprays of low calorie cooking spray. Place a metal chef’s ring or metal pastry cutter inside the frying pan carefully fill with grated potato. Using the back of a spoon, gently push down to make a compact cake. Remove the ring and repeat with the remaining potato. If you use a 2 inch ring you should get 3-4 röstis

3
Phase 3

Fry the rösti for 3-4 minutes on both sides, or until golden-brown all over and tender all the way through.

4
Phase 4

Season with salt, then remove from the pan, place on the plate and top with the smoked salmon.

5
Phase 5

Fill a small saucepan half-full with water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, lower to medium heat.

6
Phase 6

Tear 2 pieces of cling film (it should be at least double the width of the ramekin) and place the sheet of cling film in a ramekin. Spray with oil, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and break the egg into the cling film.

7
Phase 7

Gather up the edges and twist it, making sure that you have the egg enclosed well (you can use a rubber band to secure it). Repeat with the second egg. Carefully place them in the simmering water.

8
Phase 8

Cook for 4 minutes (longer if you don't like your eggs quite so runny) until the egg whites have set. Lift the egg out of the water using a slotted spoon, carefully unwrap the eggs and lift them out of the cling film using a spoon and place them on top of the smoked salmon.

Phase 9

Serve with a good helping of veggies
