Basket exercise for Dinner under 30 minutes

Hi all,
Didn't feel like doing the regular dinner-Roti sabji dal chawal types-just need a break from the regular fare.Didn't even have theme in my mind...I am doing a lot of thai these days......thought about it....NO!!!Chinese No...not again...Then what???

Hey bring out the chef in you...Sonal!Do something new..A basket exercise..-This what I told myself...and didin't feel lazy (read tired after a hectic day)
A basket Exercise is something which I used to do for the Chef Competitions during College...it is fun.You have to bring out a menu ,a creative balanced menu out of the basket of ingredients provided to you...Basket can have anything...you could be lucky or plain unlucky.
Hey I was lucky.I had tomatoes ,French beans ,frozen corn,potatoes and cottage cheese in my basket.Yeah !Great!!
I made Bean and Corn salad,Cottage Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes and crisp potato wedges all under 30 minutes.The result was a yummy healthy dinner.And yes all the recipes original.
Here are the recipes:

All ingredients are for two persons.

Salt and pepper to taste
Method:

Cut tomatoes into half longitudinally and scoop out the seeds.
Rub a little salt inside the tomato halve .Just enough to salt the tomato flesh,the stuffing has its own salt.arrange them upside down till you preapare the stuffing...so that extra juice may ooze out.
To prepare the stuffing :
Take crumbled/Grated cottage cheese in a bowl.add ginger,coriander ,roasted sesame seeds,salt and pepper.Mix well .Taste for seasoning.
To Assemble:
Upturn the tomato halves and fill the stuffing,making a dome ..a not a very high one above the tomato halves.
