5.	Add appropriate water to the mixture to make thick gravy.
6.	Bring the gravy to boil and then cover it. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes.
7.	Add 2 tbsp. of cream so that the cream flavor blends with gravy.

	5-10 minutes prior to serving, add kofta balls to the gravy. Heat on 'medium' to 2-3 mins.

	Decorate with the remaining cream and finely chopped coriander leaves.
