1. Make Koftas - Take mashed potatoes , chopped spinach, bread slice or bread crumbs, ginger garlic paste, cayenne pepper and salt to taste and mix it well. Now, to form koftas take each egg and try to wrap potato mix outside to encase the egg inside the potato mix. So, the egg will be inside the potato mixture. Roll each koftas into corn starch and try to coat them as much as possible with corn starch. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the koftas. Drain them on a tissue paper and leave it aside.
2. To make the gravy - Heat some butter or oil in pan add chopped onions, garlic and ginger into it and saute it for sometime. Add the tomato puree as well after sometime and let it cook for couple of seconds. Let it cool a little bit and then blend it in a blender by adding some water. Be careful it might be hot. Transfer it back to the pan and add chili powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala and let it simmer for couple of minutes. Add salt to taste, cardamom powder and mix well. Once it has simmered well and you can see some oils separating gradually add whisked yogurt and mix it well.
3. To serve - Cut the fried koftas into half so that you can see the yolk.Take out gravy in a shallow bowl and place koftas half cut on it in a way that the yolk shows on top and garnish it with chopped coriander leaves. Serve it with naan or rice.
4. The dish looks time consuming but if you prepare gravy a day or in advance it really saves time. You can also enjoy it the next day if you have leftovers by chopping up the eggs, make it into tacos or wrap it up a tortilla or naan with some gravy and salad.
