For kofta combine mashed potatoes, cheese, eggs, flour, coriander leaves, cumin and salt in medium bowl; refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm.

Just before cooking, toss Kofta in corn flour, shake away excess corn flour.
Shallow-fry in hot oil, in batches, until browned lightly; drain on absorbent paper. Serve immediately with creamy tomato sauce.

Tip: When a recipe calls for adding oil, garlic, and onions to a pan, always add garlic last. This keeps it from burning and tasting bitter.
