Dudhi kofta/ghiya kofta with gravy


Hello all my friends! My today's recipe is bit lengthy and it requires some patience which sadly I seem to lack but well I had to make this correctly. Please excuse the quality of the pics as somehow I could not keep my hand steady. Today's menu is dudhi kofta. Hmmm, looks like your mouth started watering eh!  Lets start our koftas and gravy.

Ingredients:
2 cups  Ghiya or Lauki (bottlegourd), peeled and grated.
1 large Onion (chopped)
1 large Tomato (chopped)
8-10 cashewnuts
3-4 large spoons of gram flour (besan)
2 tbsp Yoghurt/curd
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
3-4 chopped Green chilies
1 tsp whole Cumin seeds
1 tsp Coriander-Cumin powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Red Chili powder
Salt (according to taste) 
Oil to deep fry 
Chopped Coriander leaves for garnishing


Method:

Squeeze water out of the ghiya; mix in salt, ginger and black pepper. Add  besan, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder and coriander-cumin powder, mix well and give desired shape. I gave them bit oblong shape.
Deep-fry koftas to a golden brown and keep aside.

Put green chillies, onion, yoghurt,cashewnuts and tomatoes all together in a blender and make puree out of it.

Add 2 large spoons of oil in a kadhai/pan.
Add  ginger-garlic paste and stir for few mins then add  the puree to it. Continuously stir the masala for few mins..
Add the dry masala, i.e. red chili powder, coriander-cumin powder, turmeric powder and salt to taste.
Add 2 cups of water to make the gravy. Boil the gravy till its ready.
Add koftas into the gravy or pour hot gravy on the koftas.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot with chapati or rice.

Note: If you plan to serve later then add koftas in plate and pour gravy while serving. If kofta stick in your hands add more besan.

Hope you all like it. Over to you for feedback, friends…
