Method:-
  1. Wash kheema,mix all the ingredients of kofta and grind it to a fine paste.
  2. Make small balls.
  3. Boil one glass of water and slip in the balls.The balls will harden.And strain it.
  4. Make a fine paste of one onion and coconut.
  5. Heat oil in a another pan add onions,cinnamon,cloves and curry leaves.Fry till the onions are brown in colour.
  6. Then add the grounded paste and cook till oil comes out.
  7. Slip in the balls in the above gravy and mix carefully so that kofta's doesn't break.
  8. Add tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 mins.
  9. Add one glass of water and bring to a boil.Then simmer and cook covered for 15-20mts.

This is my m-law recipe.She uses tamarind instead of tomatoes.Some how i am not comfortable with tamarind so i replaced it with tomatoes.We don't get poppy seeds here so i substituted with cashew nuts.
