Making this mouthwatering Malai curry is quite simple. Although the name “malai” means “cream,” the smoothness of this meal comes from the coconut milk. This recipe originates from Bengal, which is well-known for its seafood. Put some steamed basmati rice alongside it.

Ingredients
- 6 potatoes, sliced
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons cold margarine
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals. Rake the coals into a flat bed on one side of the fire.
- Cut 2 lengths of heavy duty foil approximately 18 inches square, placing one on top of the other for strength. Spray top one with non-stick spray. Spread potatoes on foil leaving plenty of room to fold up later. Scatter the onion over potatoes; slice the margarine over the potatoes; layer the Parmesan, mozzarella, and Cheddar cheeses over the potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Bring opposite edges of foil together and seal.
- Place the packet directly onto your campfire and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 35 minutes.

These were delicious!!! Served them with grilled pork chops.
This didn’t taste bad, but it was just like eating breakfast potatoes. I did cut the recipe back to 2 servings and I used a handheld julianne cutter I recently bought and wanted to try out. My other main issue, is that I had major trouble with sticking. The one closest to the heat source, burned half the potato to the foil. I used a little olive oil instead of PAM spray, maybe that is really needed here? To the credit of the submitter, I have never made a foil packet recipe. I also used a small propane grill. I would attempt this again, if camping for instance. What I could salvage cooked through and tasted fine. However, I would be saving it for breakfast. These would be a good idea with those pre-cubed type potatoes.
Delicious! First attempt, on the learning curve with a new grill, I burnt the bottom 1/8 ” BLACK. And they were good!! My son wound up not coming for dinner that night and I ate my pack AND his! And barely touched my strip steak. Second attempt even better!
Easy to fix, but next time I may leave out the onion, personal preference.
I made these tonight tasted good I did use all cheddar cheese this is a very easy sidedish for the grill next time im gonna crumble up some bacon over the cheese yummy! Thanks for sharing!!
i tweaked these to personal preference. I subsituted onion powder for the onions, left out the butter and only used a colby jack cheese blend. these were amazing! i sliced them really thin and they didn’t take 20 minutes to cook on my gas grill. i will be using variations of this recipe all through the summer!
YUMMY! We don’t go camping without this recipe! Only changes made were to add crumbled bacon and use a garlic/black pepper blend.
So easy and so yummy!
We make these often when camping. Followed this recipe pretty much except had no Mozzarella cheese. Different potatoes take different times. We had Idaho and they take a good hour to cook well enough. Red potatoes will cook in the time recipe specifies. We have added bacon we had leftover from breakfast before and that is really good.
Yum! I added a couple slices of crumbled up bacon left over from breakfast, didn’t have any leftovers!
Made this for a campout I just returned from. They went over sooo well! I made it at home and stuck it in the cooler. I also used a foil pan I purchased at the dollar store so I didn’t have any cleanup.
I prebaked my potatoes before heading out for the great outdoors (left the potatoes whole until ready to assemble). Used butter vs margarine, added fresh minced garlic plus more cheddar and less mozzarella to the mix. Though I imagine any mix of cheese would be just as good. Placing them on your campfire grill imparts that wonderful smokey flavor that just can’t be duplicated anywhere but under the stars camping….. Wonderful!
duh. amazing. ’nuff said.
These were AMAZING! The leftovers were great with breakfast too. We’ll make this whenever we camp, from now on.
Well i made mine on the grill as directed. The potatoes did not cook all the way. But enough that we could tell how amazing they would be. And the cheese was AMAZING. So for potential and since I will be making again I gave the four stars.
Perfect! Used 6 good size yukon gold potatoes and made 2 pouches. I used a gas grill low setting for 35 minutes turning the pouches every 5 minutes. My kids don’t like onion so I substituted onion powder, but sliced onion would definatly be tasty here. Increased butter to 4 T. I skipped the mozzarella but increased the cheddar to 1 1/4 cups. The potatoes were moist, but crisp around the edges with molten cheese. Wow!
I made in the oven instead of a campfire and thought these were great! My family didn’t think they were all that good though… that they much preferred the ones with sour cream in them, that I sometimes make. served with Salisbury Steak , corn and green beans.
This is GREAT!!!!! I add some bell pepper and sometimes some little smokies and this becomes a great outdoors meal.
