Directions

For Koftas:
Grate the bottlegourd and squeeze out water from it completely. Store the water in a bowl separately. To this grated lauki add grated ginger, chopped green chillies, chopped coriander leaves, salt, red chilli powder and mix well. Now add besan to bind and make round or oval balls. You can apply ghee to your palm before making balls to avoid koftas sticking on your hands. Then deep fry these koftas to golden brown.
For Gravy:
Heat 3-4 tablespoons of ghee in a heavy bottom vessel. Put dalchini, crushed elaichi, tej patta, cloves let it splutter in ghee then add green chillies and ginger and fry until lightly crisped. Now add tomatoes, salt and turmeric, red chilli, jeera, coriander powders and mix well. Cover the vessel. Keep stirring at intervals and check if the gravy is even and well blended. You can add the extracted water from lauki now and let the gravy boil. Sprinkle garam masala. Add the koftas. Garnish with coriander leaves and offer. |
