6. Take a kadai with little oil and  fry the chopped onions and tomatoes.

7. Also add the ginger garlic paste to the above.

8. Cool the above mixture and grind them into a fine paste.

9. Now add 2 tsp of oil in a kadai, add jeera and let them splutter.

10. Add turmeric powder,chilly powder,coriander powder, garam masala to the oil and after they change colour add the onion tomato paste and slit green chillies.

11. Add little water and salt(to ur taste) and  bring the gravy to boil in medium flame for  5 to 7 mins.

12. After the gravy becomes creamy and is boiling, add the hot fried koftas to the gravy.

13. Let it boil for another 3mins.

14. Add little butter/desi ghee on top and garnish it with coriander leaves.

14. Serve the Ghiya kofta hot with chapathis/rotis.

TitBits 🙂

* corn flour can be used instead of gram flour ( i tried both and the taste is all the same! ).

* Customize your gravy to your own taste by adding extra flavours like mint leaves etc.

Thanks a ton!

Enjoy the Ghiya Kofta! 🙂
