STEP 1: Knead the dough for the koftas.
First of all take a bowl and add grated paneer and boiled potatoes, cornflour, garam masala, finely chopped cashew nuts and salt in the bowl and mix all the ingredients well with a spoon and knead a soft dough. A little water can also be used for kneading the dough. After kneading the dough, make round balls and keep them in an oiled plate.
STEP 2: Heat oil in a pan.
Now take a wok and add oil and heat it on medium flame. After the oil is heated well, put the koftas in the pan one by one and deep fry them. Flip the koftas with the pony from time to time and fry till they turn golden brown. After frying well, take it out on a plate and keep it.
STEP 3: Start making the gravy.
Take a pan and put it on the gas on medium flame, after that put whole onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, cashew and water in the pan and keep it for boiling. Boil the water till the tomatoes become soft after boiling. When the tomatoes become soft, then turn off the gas and grind all the ingredients in a mixer to make a smooth paste.
STEP 4: Add gravy and koftas to the pan and mix.
Take a wok and put it on the gas on medium flame and let it heat well after adding oil. Add cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and bay leaves and fry in hot oil. Now reduce the flame and put the paste in it and let it thicken. When the paste becomes thick, use a spoon so that it does not stick to the bottom. Keep in mind that the flame is to be kept low as the paste may crack when heated. Then add red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, kasoori fenugreek, water and salt, mix well and cook for 5 minutes, after that add cream and koftas and mix and switch off the gas. Malai Kofta is ready.
