Instructions

First we will clean banana stem by removing the extra thread in them by rotating a toothpick around it. Once the excess threads are removed pressure cook it for 1 whistle.
Once cooked remove from cooker and squeeze the extra water and keep it in the plate above absorbent paper and let it dry.
In a bowl add in the banana stem, boiled potatoes, salt and bit of all the spices and finely chopped green chilies. Make a dough out of this and make small lemon sized balls. Let them rest in fridge for some time.
Heat oil in a pan. When it's medium hot add all spices and ginger-garlic paste except salt and saute it for few seconds and then add in curd and saute till the fat is released and oil is separated.
Add little water and let it come to a boil. Adjust seasoning and switch off the gas.
Add the koftas in the gravy and serve.
