Instructions

1 For the koftas, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Divide this
mixture equally into lemon-sized balls and shape each into perfect rounds. Keep
aside.
2 Heat the oil in a wok (kadhai); carefully slide in the koftas one at a time. Fry
until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil on
absorbent kitchen towels. Keep aside.
3 For the gravy, heat the ghee in a pan; add onion and garlic-ginger paste. Fry
until light brown.
4 Add the tomato puree, coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder,
garam masala, yoghurt, and salt. Mix well.
5 Pour 2 cups water and bring the mixture to the boil. Boil uncovered until the
gravy thickens.
6 Add the fried koftas and cook for another 10 minutes on low heat. Serve hot.
