Combine all the ingredients for the koftas apart from the oil in a bowl and mix well. Shape them into dumplings. I got 12 with the above measurements.

Heat oil in a kadai (deep fry or shallow fry, totally upto you). Meanwhile keep 2 tbsp corn flour in a small plate. When the oil is heated, roll one dumpling in the corn flour, touch off the excess and put into oil.

Fry all the sides till done. Repeat till all the dumplings are completed. Drain on kitchen towel and set aside.

In a saucepan, heat oil. Fry all the whole masalas for a minute.

Add the ginger and garlic paste and saute till the raw smell is gone.

Now add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook till it becomes almost browned. Switch off the flame and allow to cool completely. Grind the onion with a little water to a smooth paste.

Put back the onion paste into the saucepan along with the tomato paste and start to cook on low flame.

Add in the masala powders and cook for around 7 minutes on low flame with closed lid and on high flame for around 3 minutes till the mixture gets cooked well. Keep stirring in between to ensure it doesn't get stuck to the pan. Add the water and continue to cook till the desired thickness is reached.

Lower the flame, slowly add the fresh cream while continuously stirring to ensure that the gravy doesn't curdle. Cook for a further five minutes. Sprinkle in the kasuri methi and adjust the salt. Switch off.

While serving, warm the curry slightly. Arrange the koftas on a platter and pour the curry on top. Sprinkle the coriander leaves on top and serve with roti, naan or rice! Delish!!!
