Cooking Method 

For Koftas 

• Mash the boiled potatoes and mix it with the paneer, besan and baking soda. 
• Mix it nicely to form a soft dough. 
• The dough will be a little sticky, applying a little oil on the palm will make it easier to handle it. 
• Make small round balls (about 1" diameter) and deep fry in the cooking oil to a golden brown colour. 
• Remove from oil, strain the excess on a paper towel and keep aside. 

For the gravy 

• Grind the tomatoes, onions, ginger and garlic to a smooth paste in the blender. 
• In a kadhai/wok or any deep vessel, add the 1 tbsp of oil on medium heat. 
• Add the paste and the remaining spices and yoghurt - stir till the oil starts to separate at the edges. 
• Then add the liquid and let it simmer for 15 -20 minutes on medium low. 
• Heat the gravy very nicely and add the koftas just 3-4 minutes before serving.
