8. Now add tomato puree. Let the gravy boil for 2 mins.
9. Pour the fresh cream into the gravy. Boil on low flame for 2 more minutes.
10. Adjust the consistency of the gravy such that it is not very thick.
11. Just before serving, place the koftas in a serving bowl, and pour the gravy over the koftas. Let it set for 2-3mins.
