DIRECTIONS:
For the Koftas
Take a frying pan put butter in it. When butter melts put the grated carrot simmer for 2 minutes and cover and leave for 5 minutes on a low flame. When the carrot turns little soft remove the pan and let it cool.
Mix the other ingredients except oil for deep fry. Make small balls out of it in the size of a ping pong ball.
Heat the oil for deep-frying. Drop a little mixture in the oil to see whether it breaks or not. If it separates add little more of besan. Now deep-fry these balls till they turn brown in colour. Remove them from oil and let it cool.
For the Gravy
Take the curd add besan and sugar and blend it properly in a mixer.
Now put the kadhai on the gas add butter in it. Put the mustard seeds, ajwain, cumin seeds and when they crackle add the onion paste to it fry it till oil separates, add chilli powder and haldi to it and put the curd mixture in the kadhai. Boil it for 5-7 minutes. But stir it with a spoon continuously so that curd does not separate.
Add salt to taste. Add water in it. When it cools drop the koftas in it and garnish it with cream and coriander leaves
