Really like this recepie. The only con is that I end up eating half the fried koftas while cooking the gravy and before putting them in it. I really need some patience and self-control. Don't be me.

[Prep time: 20 minutes | Cooking time: 20 minutes | Serves: 3-4]

Ingredients
For the koftas:
100 g khoya*
100-150g Paneer
1 Large Potato, boiled & grated
2 white bread slices*
2 tbsp milk powder*
2 tbsp cornflour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp red chili powder
½ tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp coriander powder*
Oil to fry

For the gravy:
3 tbsp ghee
1 cinnamon stick
3-4 cloves
4-5 green cardamoms
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp Jeera
1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
2 tbsp poppy seeds*
2 medium onions, sliced
4-5 garlic
1 Tbsp coriander powder
4 tomatoes, chopped
Salt to taste
½ tsp garam masala
½ tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp corn flour*
1 tbsp coriander powder
6-8 cashew nuts*
2 tbsp cream

Instructions

1. Grate the paneer, khoya and the boiled potato (the ratio of potato to paneer should be roughly equal).
2. Add in the salt, red chili powder, black pepper powder, coriander powder, cornflour, bread crumbs of 2 white bread slices (use mixer to make the crumbs).
3. Mix well to bind to a smooth dough and divide into equal parts and then roll into smooth balls.
4. Roll the balls in flour (maida) and roll away the excess flour. (Makes the kofta evenly brown when frying)
5. Heat oil in a pan to deep fry the kofta balls. Add kofta balls to medium hot oil and fry till golden brown. The koftas should not be undercooked.
   Remove and set aside to cool. (could potentially air fry with a lil oil too)
6. Heat ghee in a pan and add the whole spices. As the spices splutter, add in the sliced onions and sauté till translucent.
7. Add in the poppy seeds and cashew nuts, powdered spices and mix. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook till the tomatoes are pulpy and the outer layer starts coming off.
8. Remove from heat and cool completely. Grind to a smooth paste with the cornflour, 1 cup water. Pass the gravy through a sieve and return to the pan*.
9. Bring to a boil. Add in salt to taste. Add 2 tbsp cream and mix well.
10. Remove from heat. Place the koftas in the serving dish. Pour the gravy over the top. Garnish with more cream and serve.
