Start by preparing the kofta mixture. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated paneer, chopped onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and cornflour (or besan). Mix everything well until it forms a smooth and uniform mixture. 2. Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round or oval koftas. You can also stuff each kofta with a small piece of paneer or dry fruits for added flavor. 3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is , carefully place the shaped koftas into the oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Make sure to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. 4. Once the koftas are fried, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Set aside while you prepare the sauce. 5. To make the sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown and translucent. 6. Add the ginger-garlic paste to the onions and sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears. 7. Add the tomato puree to the pan along with cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix everything well and cook the sauce until the oil starts to separate from the masala, stirring occasionally. 8. If using heavy cream or cashew paste, add it to the sauce at this stage and stir to combine. This will give the sauce a rich and creamy texture. 9. Once the sauce is cooked and thickened to your desired consistency, add the fried koftas to the pan and gently coat them with the sauce. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend together. 10. Garnish the kofta curry with fresh coriander leaves and turn off the heat. 11. Serve the kofta curry with steamed rice, naan, or paratha. Enjoy your delicious homemade kofta with potatoes and sauce! Note: You can adjust the spice levels according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of red chili powder and green chilies.
