1

Take 250 grams of mutton mince and wash it well, then dry it thoroughly.

2

Add 2-3 green chilies, a little mint, a little coriander, and 1 small onion (roughly chopped) to the mutton.

3

Add 0.5 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon roasted chickpea flour, and 1 tablespoon black pepper powder to the mixture and mix well.

4

Add 1 tablespoon ghee to the mixture and form 10-12 koftas.

5

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add 1 medium-sized onion and 2 green chilies.

6

Add 8-10 cashews and 4 melon seeds to the pan and sauté them.

7

Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then let it cool down.

8

Once cooled, blend the mixture into a smooth paste.

9

In the same pan, add a little more oil, a piece of cinnamon, 2 green cardamoms, and 2 dried red chilies.

After half a minute, add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes while stirring.

11

Add the prepared paste to the pan and mix well.

12

Add a pinch of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon black pepper powder to the pan and cover it.

13

Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking due to the cashews.

14

Gradually add about 1 cup of hot water and bring it to a boil.

15

Once boiling, reduce the flame and add the koftas to the pan.

16

Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to prevent the koftas from breaking.

After 2-3 minutes, gently stir the koftas and cover again.

If desired, add 1 cup of fresh cream to the gravy (this is optional).
