Ingredients

• 2 cups (grated) Carrots
• 1 medium (boiled and mashed) Potato
• 1 cup (crumbled) Paneer
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 finely chopped Green Chillies
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups (for frying) Oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Onion
• 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 large (pureed) Tomatoes
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves)
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, mashed potato, crumbled paneer, cornstarch, green chillies, cumin powder, and half the salt (0.5 tsp). Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into small, round koftas (about the size of a ping-pong ball). Ensure they are smooth and firm to prevent cracking while frying.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Gently slide the koftas into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove them and place on kitchen paper to drain excess oil. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato puree, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and the remaining salt (0.5 tsp). Cook the mixture until the oil starts to separate from the sides, about 8 minutes.

Step 7

Lower the heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Make sure to mix it well without letting it curdle.

Step 8

Add garam masala, sugar, and crushed kasuri methi. Simmer the sauce for another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 9

Gently place the fried koftas into the sauce, ensuring they are covered with the creamy gravy. Let them heat through for 2-3 minutes, but do not overcook.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice. Enjoy your Creamy Dreamy Yummy Float!
