Shahi Koftas

CUT the bread into small cubes, toast and make crumbs in the mixer. Mix these crumbs, 25 g. icing sugar and milk to form a smooth dough. Divide the mixture into small portions and roll into even sized koftas.

Heat the ghee in a pan and lightly sauté the chopped dry fruits for two to three minutes on medium heat. Add the mawa and the remaining icing sugar and cook until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and keep aside to cool. Add cherry slices and mix well. Roll the breadcrumb koftas into cup shapes and stuff them with this mixture, roll into a ball to cover the filling completely and chill.

Lightly fry the koftas in oil until golden brown and cut through the middle so that the filling can be seen. Serve warm with chilled mango puree and garnish with pistachio slices, mint leaves and fresh cream.
