Step 1: Make the Koftas

• Mix paneer, mashed potato, green chili, cornflour, salt, and garam masala.
• Make small round balls. You can stuff each with a raisin or chopped cashew for extra taste.
• Deep fry or shallow fry on medium heat until golden brown. Set aside on paper towels.

Step 2: Prepare the Gravy

• Heat oil or butter in a pan.
• Add chopped onion and sauté until golden.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute.
• Add tomato puree and cook till oil separates.
• Add turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.
• Stir in cashew paste and cook for 2–3 minutes.
• Add ½ cup water to adjust consistency. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add cream and garam masala. Stir well.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

• Just before serving, place koftas in a bowl and pour hot gravy over them.
• Garnish with fresh cream and chopped coriander.
• 🔥 Tip: Don’t add koftas too early or they may become too soft and break.
