Butter/Ghee : 2 Tablespoon (For enhanced taste) or Oil ( As per your wish)

For Kofte 
Potatoes : 2 Medium Sized (Boiled and Mashed)

Cumin Seeds : 1 Teaspoon
Lemon Juice : 1 Teaspoon
Green Chillies : 2 Finely Chopped
Cornflour : 2 Tablespoon ( Make a Thick paste in water)
Salt to Taste

Procedure :

At First blanch the spinach and grind in thin paste in mixer and Keep it aside. Repeat the procedure for Onion and Tomatoes also. But make sure you grind them seperately. So now , you have everything in paste form , that is , ginger/garlic/chilly , onion , tomatoes and spinach. 

Take a wok/kadhai , add butter/ghee/oil and add tez patta , badi elaichi and dalchini stick and saute for few seconds. Now , add ginger/garlic/chilly paste and saute for a few seconds till the raw fragrance goes of. Do not turn it brown , now add onion paste. Add salt , saute till you get to see oily layer over it. Its time to add chilly powder , tumeric powder and garam masala powder.

Keep sauteing for a few minutes and add tomato puree now. Mix well and saute for a 3-4 minutes. Add Spinach paste , simmer the gas and cover the lid.

Till this time , prepare the aloo paneer kofte. Mash potatoes and add some salt and few cumin seeds. Grate paneer , add salt , cumin seeds , finely chopped green chilly and lemon juice to moist the mixture and add some flavor too.

In a small bowl , take cornflour powder add some water and make fine paste. Use a egg whisker or fork in case of whisker missing. So now you have 3 bowls in front of you , One with potato mash , Second with grated paneer and mixture and third with cornflour paste. (Don't forget about the gravy , saute it in between , if it is drying up , add 1/2 cup of water and cover lid again)

Take a ball of potato mash , press it in the middle and make a round thin small puri , fill in with some grated paneer mixture and then again roll it into a ball. Dip this ball in cornflour (Be careful , it is very soft so manhandling can cause a shape change) with light hands. and deep fry the balls till crisp and golden in colour.

Bring out the balls on tissue paper . By the time you fry all kofte , your gravy will show up all the oil it has. Remove it from heat. 

Garnish the gravy with beated fresh cream and dried red chilly. Serve the kofte and gravy separately to keep the kofte crispy and crunchy. :) You can happily serve you dish with soft n hot phulkas or plain white rice :) Enjoy the meal.
