Black peppercorns - 2 to 3
Cinnamon - 1/2 inch piece
Fresh Cream/Malai - 1/2 Cup (optional)
Milk - 1/4 Cup (optional)
Oil -1 Tablespoon

Instructions

Take a bowl and add the boiled potatoes, mashed/grated mawa/khoya, salt, a pinch of garam masala powder. Mix it well. You can add finely chopped green chillies too.
Make small balls and deep fry in oil. Alternatively, you use an appe pan to shallow fry these balls with less oil. I used the appe pan to fry. When done, transfer these Koftas to a plate.
For the gravy : Take soaked cashews, muskmelon seeds, chopped tomatoes, ginger in a mixer jar. Grind them to a fine paste.
Take a pan and add little oil. Add the jeera and whole garam masala (bay leaf, cinnamon, black peppercorn) to it. Saute fry for a minute.
Add the ground paste to it and saute fry. Cook for 4-5 minutes on a low flame.
Add a tablespoon of mawa to it. Cook for 2 minutes. Add salt and red chilli powder to it. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the oil gets separated.
Add a cup of water/milk to adjust gravy consistency (if needed) and cook for 4-5 minutes.
At this stage, you can add the cream and cook for another 5 minutes. ( I omitted to add cream). Once the gravy is thick, switch off the flame.
Now, add the kofta and close the lid for 2 minutes. Garnish the koftas with the coriander, green chillies. You can also add a little cream for decoration.
Delicious 'Mawa Kofta In Tomato Gravy' is ready to be served. Serve with rajgira poori.

I am a housewife passionate towards cooking variety vegeterian food. Since I love change in the food regularly, I keep experimenting and innovating the daily food with simple twists so that they look different and maintain the taste. Variation in look, taste and preperation is my mantra in day to day cooking.
