Methods:
To start off, cook the quinoa and set it aside to cool. Quinoa has a bitter coating so make sure that you rinse it properly before cooking.
To prepare the Koftas, add mashed paneer, ginger, cumin, chili, salt and bread crumbs and make small balls.
Add 4-5 tbsp oil in a pan and wait till it heats up. Shallow fry the balls on the gas stove till your Koftas are ready.
To prepare the curry, blanch the tomatoes, peel and make a puree out of it.
Now, heat oil in a kadhai and add grated onions. Sauté them till they turn golden brown.
Add some ginger garlic paste and sauté further for about a minute.
Add tomato puree and cook till the oil separates.
Add dry spices and sauté further for 1-2 minutes.
Add water, cover and boil for 5-7 minutes till the gravy is cooked.
Add koftas and switch off the gas.
Serve with hot phulkas or rice.
