2. Blend onions and tomatoes seperately to a paste/puree without adding water. Keep aside.

3. Heat oil in a wide pan. Add cloves and cinnamon sticks to hot oil. Next add onion paste and cook it until raw smell of onions disappears. This might take approximately 12-15 mins on medium flame. It’s very important to cook onion paste fully, else the curry will have raw smell and taste to it.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Add ginger garlic paste and saute until raw smell disappears. Add tomato puree and cook until oil separates from the sides of the pan.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Add green chillies and mix. Add red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and salt, mix well.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Add deep fried kofta balls, mix. Add water depending on the consistency of the curry required. Check for seasoning. Let it simmer for good 15-20 mins.
