Meanwhile, heat oil for frying.
Fry the balls on a medium flame until golden brown. Once fried, take them out and keep aside.
PREPARING THE GRAVY:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan.
Add grated ginger, 1 chopped green chilli, black peppercorns, bay leaf, cardamom, and cinnamon stick. Sauté for a few seconds.
Now, add chopped onions and sauté till it turns pinkish. Add cashew nuts, mix and cook.
Then, add chopped tomato and cook until the tomato turns soft. Add salt and mix well. Cook for a minute and then turn off the flame. Let the mixture cool completely.
Grind the cooked mixture to make a smooth puree. Add a little water if required for grinding.
Now, heat ghee in a pan.
Add mustard seeds, 1 chopped green chilli, red chilli powder, and coriander powder. Mix well.
Then, add ground paste and a little water. Mix well and cook on a medium flame.
Add water to adjust the consistency because the kofta will absorb the gravy. Cover and let it cook for 2 minutes. Do check the gravy in between.
Once cooked, add homemade cream/malai, mix well, and cook.
Crush the kasuri methi between the palms and add to the gravy. Add garam masala, a little salt, mix well, and cook for a minute.
Add kofta to the gravy just before serving.
