This is based on a recipe in Vineet Bhatia's book '''Rasoi: New Indian Kitchen''' (ISBN 1906650195). In his restaurant, he serves it as a canapé, but I have adapted it to be more substantial and have treated it in two ways. The first way is to shape it into balls, which are then [[Deep fried|deep fried]] and the second is to [[Bake|bake]] it in a [[Baking|baking]] tin or [[Casserole dish|casserole dish]]. You can do as I did and make half-in-half.
