Instructions

Method to make Koftas:

In a bowl add paneer,mashed potatoes

Add chopped green chilli, cilantro/coriander and salt.

Dip the bread slice in a little water and add to the bowl.

Mix well and add maida 1 tsp at a time and knead into a dough.

If u feel that its a little loose then add some more maida or bread.

Make small ball stuffing a little kismis in each ball. Instead of this step i just mixed raisins with the rest of the ingredents.

Fry the balls on slow heat till a dark brown.

To make the gravy

Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan, fry onions add all the gravy ingredients other than the tomatoes

Fry till onion turns golden brown. Cool the ingredients and grind into a fine paste.

Heat 2 tsp of oil in a pan add the finely ground paste. Fry this for 5 mins.

Grind the tomatoes in the mixer and add to the paste. Instead of this you can use Tomato Paste for making larger quantities.

Add salt.

Cook this for 15 - 20 mins. Add chilli powder if the spice is less.

Add some fresh cream or half and half and cook for another 3-4 mins.

If the gravy is little less then add more Whipping Cream. I normally use 1 Packet so that I get more gravy

Add the koftas to the gravy and cook and heat for 2 mins and garnish with cilantro.

Serve immediately with hot parathas.

Note: add salt ,chilli powder, coriander powder, and garam masala if the spices are less.

If the spices are more then add some cream, curd or tomato puree.

Tips of the day
Roast cumin seeds on a warm griddle before dry grinding to get a better flavour and grind faster.
