How to make Aloo kofta curry with step by step images

In a bowl mash the boiled potatoes with a masher. Now add grated cheese, chopped green chili, salt, corn flour and milk. Mix everything well until combined.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Now pinch a medium portion of the potato mixture and make it into round shape. Repeat the process till all the mixture is done and keep the aloo balls aside.
Now drop the aloo balls one by one and cook them in medium flame until golden brown. When done transfer it to a plate with paper towel and keep it aside.
Now in a blender add chopped onion, garlic, ginger and cashew. Grind it into a fine paste and keep it aside.( I did not add water while grinding, but if you require you can add little water).
Now in a blender add chopped tomato and grind it into a fine paste.
Heat oil in a pan / kadai add ground onion paste and saute till the raw smell goes. Now add the ground tomato pulp in it along with chili powder and garam masala powder in it and mix well. Allow the mixture to boil well till the raw flavors go.
Now pour milk in it and put off the flame after one boil. Now salt add honey in it and mix well.
Finally add the aloo kofta in it and garnish it with cilantro and serve it hot with rice or roti!
