Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Boil 2 large potatoes until tender. Mash thoroughly and set aside to cool.
Make the Kofta Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, corn flour, all-purpose flour, black pepper, chopped cashews, peanut butter, desiccated coconut, salt, and garam masala. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape the mixture into small, lemon-sized balls.
Prepare the Onion Paste
- In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the cardamom pods and bay leaves, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Transfer the onion mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Fry the Kofta Balls
- Heat the remaining oil in a pan or deep fryer. Carefully fry the kofta balls until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
Make the Curry Sauce
- In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the ginger and garlic paste, sauté for a minute. Add the prepared onion paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree, peanut butter, red chili powder, and salt. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes over low heat.
- Add 1 cup of water, bring to a gentle simmer, then add the fried kofta balls and heavy cream. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with extra desiccated coconut and dried fenugreek leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Potato Kofta
- For extra flavor, soak the cashews in warm water for 30 minutes before chopping them.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the koftas; fry in batches to ensure even browning.
- If the curry sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water to adjust the consistency.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. A pinch of turmeric adds a beautiful color and earthy note.
