Take these kebabs out from the pan when all are done.

In the same pan with left over oil , add cumin seeds and bay leaf. now add the boiled potato cubes, fry for 1 minute and add the masala paste and fry all together well. Cook it until the oil separates. Then add 1 glass of water, when  it starts boiling add the kebabs and cook it for 3-4 minutes . At last add little garam masala powder and little ghee.

Tips- 

1. Adding baking powder makes the kebabs rise and fluffy.
2. Maida can be used as per your requirement. Sometimes you need more, but remember the main ingredient is cottage cheese, not maida. So use it wisely.
3. After adding the kebabs into the gravy , cover the lid for a while to get soft and tasty kebabs curry.
