  1.  For making kofta's, blend everything together except water and oil either in a mixer or with hands. It should be thick enough that koftas can easily be made. If it is very hard, add some water and make it little soft. Make koftas of lemon size balls and deep fry them till golden brown colour. If you wish you can stuff some raisins and kaju in the center of the koftas to give them a rich and nutty taste. 
  2. For making gravy, take oil in a heavy bottom kadai. When oil becomes hot put jeera. After few seconds put hing. Add paste of onion. Saute till golden brown. Add ginger garlic paste and crushed powder of green cardamom, laung and dalchini. Saute for 2 mins. Add turmeric powder and salt. Add blended youghurt with half cup of water and sugar. When it boils add mango puree and kofta. Cook for 2 minutes. 
  3. Blend cooking cream, milk and saffron in a blender. Add this cream in the gravy and switch off the gas. Serve hot.
