2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

Recipe

Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes & Boil them.
Boil the veggies
Mash the boiled potatoes, mixed vegetables, paneer, and cream together.
Add the spices – cumin, coriander, and red chili powder – to this mash and mix well. Season it with salt.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped nuts and raisins.
Make this dough into balls and put a 1/2 teaspoon of the nut and raisin mix in the center of each ball.
In a large pot, heat the oil kept aside to fry the koftas, on a medium flame.
Deepfry these rounds till pale golden in color.
Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan and fry the onions till light brown.
In a small food processor, place the fried onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin, and red chili powder, and grind into a paste.
Put this paste back into the pan and fry till the oil begins to separate from the masala.
Add 1 cup of warm water (the sauce for this dish is meant to be thick so do not add too much water) to this masala to form a gravy. Mix well.

Gently add the koftas to this gravy and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes.
