Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Boiled Potatoes
100 Grams Paneer
2 Tbsp Cauliflower Florets
2 Tbsp Cornflour
1 Tsp Finely Chopped Green Chillies
Salt -- To Taste
3 Tbsp Oil
1 C Boiled Onion Paste
1 C Boiled Carrots
1/4 C Soaked Raisins
1 Tbsp Ginger Paste
1 Tbsp Garlic Paste
1 Tsp Red Chilli Powder
1/2 Tsp Garam Masala
3/4 C Cashewnut Paste
Oil -- For Deep-Frying
Cream -- Optional
Chopped Coriander -- For Garnish

Grate the boiled potatoes, grate the paneer and add to the boiled potatoes,
mix in the finely chopped green chillies salt and the corn flour. Mix
really well and make into small round balls. Grate the carrots and mix the
raisins into them. Make an indent into the potato balls and stuff a little
of the carrot and raisin mix into it. Reform the potato ball in your hand
making sure that you leave no holes! Deep fry all the balls until golden
brown. Leave aside.

Gravy:

Take a tablespoon of oil in a heavy based pan, add the boiled onion paste
cook until the onions are a little pink. Add the ginger and garlic paste to
the oinions and saute for a while. Add the tumeric and chilli powder and
cook for a while until the masala has mixed well into the paste. Now add
the cashewnut paste to this and cook. Keep stirring so that it doesn't
stick to the bottom of the pan. Add about a 1/2 cup of water and cook on
very low heat for about 10 mins. Add salt taste and mix well. Add the fried
koftas to the gravy. Finish with fresh cream drizzled over the top
(optional) and add a little chopped corinder to garnish. Serve hot with
naan or rice.
This dish was supposedly created for the beautiful queen Noor Jahan. I am
not sure if this is true or not but it does taste very nice!
