INGREDIENTS

For the Kofta

1 cup, Mashed Potatoes
1 cup, finely grated Paneer
1 tbsp, Corn Starch
1/2 tsp, Red Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp. ground Coriander Powder
1/2 tsp, Garam Masala
1/4 tsp, Salt
Oil for Deep Frying

For the Sauce

2 tbsp, Ghee
1 Bay Leaf
3 Cloves
3 Cardamom
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 Black Cardamom
1 small Onion
3 cloves Garlic
1/2 inch, Ginger
2 cups, pureed Tomatoes
1/2 tsp, Red Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp, ground Coriander Powder
1/2 tsp, ground Cumin
1 tsp, Garam Masala
1 cup Water
1/2 tbsp, Kasoori Methi Leaves
1/2 cup, Cream
Salt to Taste
Chopped Coriander to garnish

METHOD

Combine all the ingredients for the Koftas in a bowl, and mix to combine. Form into compact ping pong sized balls, an fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes or until evenly golden brown and crisp. Set aside.

Add Onion, Garlic, and Ginger to a blender. Blend until smooth.

Heat Ghee in a frying pan on medium heat. Add Bay Leaf, Cloves, Cardam, Cinnamon and Black Cardamom. Fry for 15-20 seconds, stirring until Cloves and Cardamom have sightly puffed up.

Add pureed Onion mixture and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly golden and fragrant, followed by Tomato puree, Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder, Cumin, Garam Masala and Salt to taste. Cook this mixture for 10-12 minutes, until the Tomatoes have reduced down, and the ghee starts to separate from the mixture.

Add Water (approx. 1 cup) to slightly thin out gravy and return to a simmer. Lastly, add cream and cook until mixture has slightly thickened.

Return fried Koftas to sauce, and gently spoon sauce over to coat. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped Coriander.

Serve hot with Rice, Naan or Chapathis. Enjoy! :)
