Reshmi Kofta Curry

BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAN NIR RAHEEM



That very afternoon I prepared Reshmi Kofta Curry. It’s a Sanjeev Kapoor Recipe, which I like a lot. I don’t know why, but that day I was really into a very cooking and experimenting mood. However, my Reshmi Kofta Curry turned out to be very very nice. It’s quiet easy to prepare and gets ready quickly.

RECIPE:

Ingredients:

For Kofta
Potatoes = 3 large sized
Cottage cheese (paneer) = 1/2 cup grated
Green chillies = 2-3
Raisins = 10-12

For Gravy
Onions = 2 medium sized
Green chillies =  2-3
Ginger garlic paste = 2 tsp
Yoghurt = 1/2 cup
Oil - 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Method:

For Koftas
1. Wash and boil potatoes. Cool, peel and mash well.

2. Remove stems, wash and finely chop green chillies. Wash raisins and pat them dry.

3. Add grated paneer to the mashed potatoes and mix. Dip bread slice in water and squeeze out the water. Add this to the grated paneer and potato mixture alongwith raisins, green chillies, cornstarch and salt to taste. Divide into ten to twelve portions and shape them.

4. Heat sufficient oil in a kadai and deep fry them on medium heat till golden.
