Namaskar I am Nisha Madhulika.
Today we will make Aloo Paneer Kofta curry.
You will make yummy sabzi.
You can make it for any party, for guests
or you can make whenever you crave for a different sabzi.
To make koftas, peel potatoes and make dough.
We have taken 4 boiled potatoes,peel them.
Grate them.
Grate paneer too.
Have to mix it to the potatoes.
Now let's add spices to it.
Add 1/2 tsp salt to it.
Also add 2 finely chopped green chili,
a little green coriander.
add 1/4 cup cornflour too.
Mix the ingredients till all blend well.
You can also use araroot instead of cornflour.
Dough is ready.
Meanwhile heat some oil in wok for koftas.
Here we have 5 to 6 finely chopped cashews
and 15 to 20 raisins.
Mix them.
We will fill it in the koftas.
Lift some dough,
give a round shape,
bind it and flatten it.
Give a hollow shape.
Add 1 or 2 cashew pieces and raisins,
Close it and give it a round shape.
When you give it round shape,
shape it until smooth.
Kofta is round now.
Lets fry it.
Cause many a times people say, the koftas splutter while frying.
Oil should be rightly hot to fry the koftas.
Flame should also be high.
Kofta is frying and does not splutter.
There is often a complain that koftas splutter.
The main reason that cause koftas to splutter
is the less quantity of cornflour or araroot.
Add bit more cornflour or araroot,
any of the two you want.
Mix well then make dough again.
Then when you make koftas,
they wont splutter.
Fry the kofta well untill golden brown from all sides.
Kofta is golden brown.
Take it out.
Hold the ladle on the edge of the wok,
so that extra oil goes back to the wok.
Put the kofta in a plate.
Prepare all koftas likewise.
All koftas are ready.
Now let's fry it.
Put the koftas to fry in the wok.
When slightly fried,
slightly stir lightly,
Do not put the ladle over the kofta.
Koftas have turned golden brown.
Take them out.
Fry the rest of the koftas likewise.
Koftas are fried and ready.
It takes 5 minutes to fry koftas at once.
We have made 15 koftas with this quantity of dough
Now lets prepare gravy for the koftas.
Heat a pan for making the gravy.
Add 4 tbsp oil to the pan.
Oil is rightly hot.
Add 1/4 tsp cumin seeds,
When cumin seeds are roasted,
add turmeric powder,
coriander powder and ginger paste.
Slightly roast the spices.
Now add tomato green chili paste.
We have taken 3 tomeatoes, 2 green chilies,
you can also add ginger and grind it.
Today we are making poppy seeds gravy,
We soaked 1/4 cup poppy seeds
washed and soaked in water for an hour,
and grinded finely.
Add poppy seeds paste along with the tomato paste.
Roast it too.
Stir it at regular intervals,
Roast it till oil separates from the spices,
Add red chili powder,
Keep medium flame.
Poppy seeds are very fine,

Masala is roasted and ready,
Oil has separated from it.
Now add water to it.
Add 2 cup water.
If the gravy seems dense
you can add more water.
For koftas you need a bit thin gravy.
Koftas absorb the gravy,
Add 1/2 cup more water.
Add salt and garam masala.
Add a little green coriander.
Mix it.
Cover and cook the gravy for 5 to 6 minutes.
We have boiled the gravy for 7 to 8 minutes.

it is of measured quantity.
Mash the dough well.
