The very word 'Makhni' brings to our mind lots of butter and cream! But here I have created the same rich and creamy effect with low fat milk mixed with cornflour. Vibrant, red-coloured kofta made using beetroot and carrots not only add colour to this subzi but also add nutrients like vitamin A, fibre and folic acid.

Ingredients

Method

    For the koftas
    1. Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl.
    2. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small round kofta.
    3. Steam in a steamer for about 20 minutes till the koftas are firm. Keep aside.

    For the makhani gravy
    1. Combine all the ingredients along with ¾ cup of water in a kadhai and heat over a medium flame till the vegetables are tender.
    2. Allow to cool completely and discard the cloves and cinnamon.
    3. Blend the mixture to a smooth purée in a mixer. Keep aside.

    How to proceed
    1. Heat a non-stick kadhai on a medium flame and when hot add the cumin seeds and dry roast for about 10 seconds.
    2. Add the dried fenugreek leaves and chilli powder and cook while stirring continuously for 5 to 10 seconds. If the chilli powder starts burning, sprinkle a little water over it.
    3. Add the makhani gravy, sugar and salt and bring it to boil.
    4. Add the cornflour-milk mixture and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
    5. Add the koftas and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
    6. Serve hot garnished with coriander.

    The koftas are made of beetroot, carrot, besan, potato and are steamed to make it healthy. The Makhani gravy is tomato based and healthy. Go for it.
