In a large bowl, mix the crumbled paneer, mashed potatoes, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until a smooth dough forms.
Shape the mixture into small round balls (koftas) and lightly brush them with oil.
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and air-fry the koftas for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown and firm.
While koftas cook, blend the soaked cashews with a little water into a very smooth, creamy paste.
In a non-stick pan, sauté the ginger-garlic paste, then add the tomato puree and cook until the moisture evaporates.
Stir in the turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, and the cashew paste, simmering on low heat for 5 minutes.
Lower the heat and whisk in the Greek yogurt and crushed kasuri methi to create a creamy, low-fat gravy.
Place the warm koftas in a serving dish and pour the hot gravy over them just before serving to keep them from getting too soft.
