Combination of gobhi and aloo is one of very famous dishes. Almost everybody like aloo gobhi with gravy or without gravy, which makes it popular enough to be cooked in every Indian house. I had tried to make this combination in much more delicious and tasty manner. When we start frying gobhi to make it into kofta, it becomes irresistibly tasty. More yumminess in this recipe comes by adding small paneer cubes in kofta. You can replace paneer by kaju or kismis. But paneer makes this dish too attractive and softer to eat. This kofta with gravy is just heavenly delicious and goes very well with pulav. Now let’s prepare it quickly.

Ingredients:

1 Cinnamon stick

3 teaspoon oil

1 star anise

1 tejpatta

1 cup milk and cream

• 1 Water jug

                              Step by step procedure:

To make gravy

Step-1 Heat nonstick deep fry pan, add oil, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, star anise, tejpatta. Now make fine paste of all the masala ingredients in a grinder. Add masala paste in pan, cover it with lid and cook it for 4-5 minutes at low flame. 

Step-2 When masala is cooked well then at low flame add milk (slowly with continuous stir) and let it boil once. When it is cooked then add salt, water and let it cook for 2 minutes on medium flame.

Prepare kofta’s

Take fry pan then add oil, when oil become hot then add grated gobhi, cover it and let it cook for 3-4 minutes on low flame. Make sure that there is no moisture left in gobhi. Now add boiled and meshed potatoes to it so that moisture of potato is also removed. Now transfer it in a bowl and add all other kofta ingredients( except paneer cubes) now it keep aside it for 5 minutes. Take out bowl, now make small bolls of it and then insert very small cube of paneer in the kofta and then close it. Now deep fry kofta’s in a fry pan.

Step-3 Now add kofta’s to the gravy.

Garnish it with finely chopped coriander leaves.

Enjoy it with paratha, rice, pulav…….!!

Tips:

•  Adding corn flour and potato are important, because it bind your kofta's. Also make sure that there should be no moisture in kofta's before frying it.
  

• Add very less amount of water for making  thick gravy.
• Add kofta's in the gravy at the time of serving otherwise it will soak all the gravy.
• Cook masala very well.
• Always add milk on low flame and slowly with a continous stir otherwise milk will curdle.
