Break curds into pieces and knead vigorously until smooth and palm of the hand feels greasy.
Divide into 8 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
Combine coriander, sultanas, almonds and chillies, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Make a depression in each ball and fill with some of the coriander mixture, then mould ball around filling again, making a smooth surface without cracks.
Heat about 2 cups oil with 2 tablespoons ghee to flavour it and slip in the cheese koftas, frying them over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
Lift out on slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Sauce: To make the sauce, melt ghee in a heavy pan with a tablespoon of the frying oil and cook garlic and onion until soft and translucent.
Add tomato paste, salt, sugar and ginger and stir in 11/2 cups whey. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in cream, add koftas and simmer in sauce for 10 minutes.
