Heat oil in a pan, add onion paste, and fry. Now add ginger-garlic paste and fry till it smells good. Then add tomato puree and spices (turmeric, coriander powder, salt). When the gravy thickens, add some water (or bottle gourd water) to it. Now add cream and garam masala and cook well. Add koftas to the gravy and cook on low flame for 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot bottle gourd koftas with roti, paratha, naan, or jeera rice. Garnish with green coriander and some cream.
