<p>Start by sautéing your whole spices with shallots, aromatics, cashews, tomatoes, and a little tomato paste. Add in some water and let this simmer. Finish with mint, cilantro, and milk powder before blending this until smooth.</p>
<p>Transfer this to a pan with a red chili powder tadka and now we’ll go in with all our spices, some dry mint. Let it simmer while all the flavors develop. Finish with some garam masala, a dash of cream, and trust me on this one &#8211; some saffron honey!</p>
<p>For our koftas, we’ll knead together potatoes, paneer, cornstarch, and breadcrumbs until they form a smooth dough. For the filling, add in pistachios, dried cranberries, ginger, and green chili. Add in spices, fresh cilantro, and give this a mix!</p>
<p>Fill the koftas with our incredible stuffing and shape them into balls before frying until golden brown.</p>

<p>To plate, pour in some of that silky gravy and place your koftas on top. I like adding some sliced in half for a prettier look. Top with some chili oil, edible flower petals, cream, and a drizzle of that floral saffron honey!</p>
