This dish has been a specially prepared for calorie conscious North Indian food fans. Take my word for it - these steamed koftas in a nourishing makhani gravy are really "finger licking". Serve it with Saatdhan Pararthas, to make a sumptuous meal.

Ingredients

Method

    For the paneer palak koftas
    1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
    2. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into an even sized round.
    3. Steam the koftas for 4 to 5 minutes. Keep aside.

    For the makhani gravy
    1. Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, red pumpkin with ¾ cup of water and cook over a slow flame till the vegetables are soft. Allow to cool completely. Remove the cinnamon and cloves and discard them.
    2. Blend the tomato mixture to a smooth purée.
    3. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds.
    4. When the seeds crackle, add the kasuri methi and chilli powder and sauté for a few seconds.
    5. Add the puréed vegetable mixture, sugar and salt and bring to a boil.
    6. Dissolve the cornflour in the milk and add it to the prepared gravy. Simmer for a few minutes.

    How to proceed
    1. Add the paneer palak koftas to the hot makhani gravy and mix well.
    2. Serve hot.

    Tips
    1. Adjust the consistency of the gravy by adding water if necessary before serving.
    2. 2½ cups chopped spinach gives you ½ cup of blanched and chopped spinach.
    3. Squeeze out all the water from the blanched spinach to make koftas.
