Instructions
Prepare the Gulab Jamun Koftas
- In a bowl, mash the gulab jamun. Add the grated cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, and crushed green peas. Mix well.
- Add the corn flour and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
- Roll each ball between your palms to create smooth koftas.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Deep-fry the koftas until golden brown. This creates a crispy exterior and ensures the koftas hold their shape in the curry.
Make the Gravy
- In a blender, combine the chopped onion, ginger, garlic, black peppercorns, cloves, green and black cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, mace blade, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and a little water. Blend into a smooth paste.
- Heat the remaining oil in a pan. Add the blended spice paste and sauté until fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the spices. This process, called blooming, intensifies the flavors of the spices.
- Add the milk and heavy cream. Mix well.
- Add the tomato purée and plain yogurt. Mix well.
- Add 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cover the pan. Cook until the gravy thickens slightly.
- Gently place the fried gulab jamun koftas into the gravy. Garnish with silver vark.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Customize the dish by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
