Method:
  • Mash the potatoes, mixed vegetables, paneer, and mix together. Add the spices to this mash and mix well. The resulting dough should be firm. If not add some bread crumbs ( only if you mess up) Season with salt.
  • Make this dough into balls and put 1/2 a tsp of the nuts and mix in the centre of each ball. Roll into perfect rounds. Coat it with some cornflour or all-purpose flour.

  • Drain on paper towels and keep aside.

For the gravy:

  • first, heat the 2 tbsp of oil in a deep pan and fry the onions until light brown.
  • Grind into a paste along with the tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, and red chilli powders.
  • Heat oil in a pan, add black cumin.
  • Put this paste back into the pan and fry till the oil begins to separate from the masala.
  • Add 1 cup of warm water (the sauce for this dish is meant to be thick so do not add too much water) to this masala to form a sauce/gravy. Mix well. Season with salt.
  • Bring the sauce/gravy to a boil and then reduce the fire to a simmer.
  • Add cream, If you don’t have cream add little milk and mix fast without curdling and add finely grated paneer that will give good creamy texture.
  • Gently add the koftas to this sauce/gravy and stop cooking.
  • Turn off the fire and sprinkle the garam masala and chopped coriander all over the top of the dish.
