Cauliflower Kofta curry

I always had this feeling that Kofta is a very difficult thing to make and had a very complex procedure. Only after I actually developed an interest in cooking, I realized it is not so difficult. It just required time and patience. So now that I am at home, thought of giving it a try. I tried with grated cauliflower.


Ingredients:
For Kofta:

Cauliflower,grated-1 & 1/2 to 2 cups
Potatoes-3 nos.,boiled & Mashed
Cornflour-1 & 1/2 tblsp
Garam masala-1/4 tsp
Chat masala-1/4 tsp
Pepper powder-1/4 tsp
Baking powder-1 pinch
Salt As needed(3/4 tsp)
Oil For deep frying



For Gravy
Tomato puree-1 cup
Oil/Ghee-2 tsp
Jeera/Cumin seed-1 tsp
Ginger chopped-1 tsp
Ginger paste-1 tsp
Garam masala Powder-1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder-1/2 tsp
Coriander powder-1 & 1/2 tsp
Salt As needed
Coriander leaves,chopped-To garnish
Milk-1 cup
Cream-1/4 cup


Procedure:
Pressure cook the potatoes,peel the skin off and mash them well. Make sure there's no water.
Heat a pan with a tsp of oil and fry the grated cauliflower. Cook covered in low flame for 4-5 minutes.
Mix mashed potatoes,cooked cauliflower,corn flour,pepper,salt,garam masala powder and baking powder.
Make small balls,by keeping the cheese cubes inside as shown in the picture.
Deep fry in medium flame till golden brown and keep aside.
For gravy,heat a pan with oil and splutter the jeera,add the chopped ginger and ginger paste. Add the tomato puree
Add garam masala,red chilli,coriander powders along with salt and fry well untill all the water evaporates.
Again,add little water to make it to a thick gravy and add the coriander leaves and simmer for another 4-5 minutes.Cool down.
Add milk and cream and mix well,in low flame. Add the koftas and when it is about to boil,switch off the stove.
 Yummy cauliflower kofta curry is ready to enjoy with roties or any pulavs.
