Now, heat oil in a pan and fry these balls till the color of the balls becomes bold. We do not have to brown the color of the ball, otherwise, the water of the gravy will not be able to absorb while making the gravy.

Now heat oil in a pan, add cinnamon, green cardamom, and cumin seeds, and spilled them.

After that, add red chili powder and turmeric powder to it. We have to do all this at low flame.

In the end, we will mix it well by pouring one tsp of ghee on it and putting chopped coriander leaves on it.
