To make Koftas:

1. Boil, peel and mash the potatoes in a bowl. Add grated tofu/paneer, bread crumbs and salt. Mix well and knead a soft dough.
   

2. Make 8 equal portions of the dough. Take each portion in your palm and place the kofta filling in the centre. Cover the filling completely and form oval-shaped koftas [Apply little oil on your palms to avoid koftas sticking on your hand]. Refrigerate the koftas for an hour.

3. Add kofta filling which you had prepared-grated tofu/ paneer (2 tbsp) and cashew powder. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Sprinkle a pinch of green cardamom powder, stir and turn off the heat. Serve koftas cut into halves or whole on top of the rich gravy. Do not boil koftas in the gravy as they are liable to break.
