Описание: 🥘 Gourmet Stuffed Aloo Kofta (Royal Style)
Aloo Kofta consists of crispy, spiced potato dumplings served in a rich, velvety gravy. This "boosted" version features a hidden fruit-and-nut center and a creamy Mughlai-style sauce.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Koftas (The Dumplings):
Potatoes: 4 large (boiled, peeled, and mashed cold)
Binder: 3 tbsp Cornstarch or Arroot powder
Aromatics: 1 tsp Ginger paste, 2 Green chilies (finely chopped), Fresh coriander
Spices: ½ tsp Cumin powder, ½ tsp Garam masala, Salt to taste
The "Boost" Stuffing: 2 tbsp crushed Cashews, 1 tbsp Raisins, 50g crumbled Paneer
For the Royal Gravy:
Base: 2 large Onions (pureed), 3 Tomatoes (pureed)
Creaminess: 10-12 Cashews soaked in warm water and ground to a paste
Whole Spices: 1 Bay leaf, 1 Cinnamon stick, 3 Green cardamoms
Ground Spices: 1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili powder, ½ tsp Turmeric, 1 tsp Coriander powder
The Finish: 2 tbsp Fresh cream, 1 tsp Kasuri Methi (crushed), Fresh cilantro

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Koftas
In a bowl, mix the cold mashed potatoes, cornstarch, ginger, chilies, and spices. Knead into a smooth dough.
Take a small portion of the dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a tiny bit of the stuffing (cashews, raisins, paneer) in the center.
Roll it into a smooth, crack-free ball.
Deep fry or Air-fry (at 200°C) until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Gravy
Heat oil/ghee in a pan. Add the whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom) until fragrant.
Add onion puree and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes.
Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the sides.
Add the ground spices (chili, turmeric, coriander) and the cashew paste. Stir well.
Add 1 cup of water to reach your desired consistency. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes.
Step 3: The Final Flourish
Stir in the fresh cream and crushed Kasuri Methi.
Crucial Tip: Do not put the koftas in the pan. Place the hot koftas in a serving bowl and pour the boiling gravy over them right before eating. This keeps them crispy!
