Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Lets prepare kofta first. In a bowl, grate boiled potatoes and add coriander, black pepper powder, salt and oats in it. Mix well and make round balls. Oats act as binding agent.

* Step 2

Now grease appe pan with slight ghee and cook appe in it on medium burner at medium flame.

* Step 3

Flip sides from time to time to brown the koftas from all sides at low medium flame and keep aside.

* Step 4

Now coming onto gravy, grind onion, tomatoes, garlic, chillies and ginger together in a grinder jar and ready the paste.

* Step 5

Take a wok, heat little ghee in it.

* Step 6

Add dried red chilli, asafoetida, cumin seeds and bay leaf. Saute for 15-30 seconds until fragrance of spices comes.

* Step 7

Now add the grinded paste into the wok along with 1.5 tsp salt and saute for a minute. Then Cover with lid for 2 minutes at low flame.

* Step 8

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and kashmiri red chilli powder(optional). Kashmiri red chill is added for nice red gravy colour. You can skip as i too have skipped in this version. Saute.

* Step 9

Now you will notice little ghee on sides, add mawa at this stage and cook for another minute.

* Step 10

Now add 1+1/4th cups water and bring it to boil. After a boil, turn to low flame and cover it with lid and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then add fresh coriander.

* Step 11

Now meanwhile for smoky flavour, burn 2-3 small pieces of coal on burner.

* Step 12

Keep one steel bowl in middle of gravy, add in hot coal. Pour ghee from top onto the hot coal.

* Step 13

Smoke will come, immediately cover with lid and seal in the smoke for minimum 3-5 minutes for nice light coal flavour. Increase the time if you wish strong flavour.
