• When the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, coriander powder and fenugreek leaves.
• After sautéing for while, add tomato-ginger-green chilly paste and sauté them on low flame until oil starts floating on the surface.

Tips:

• You can make gravy for the koftas as per your taste and preference. If you wish to add onion to the gravy, then take 1 to 2 onions, chop them finely and add after sautéing the cumin seeds. Saute until they get slightly pinkish in color.

Rest follow the same method for making the sabzi.

This could do for three to four people who are moderate eaters.
