Take the remaining turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and kashmiri red chilli powder in a bowl, add a little water to make a smooth paste. Keep aside.
Heat oil to the pan, when smoking hot, temper with bay leaves, crushed cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and red chillies. When the spices start to release their aroma, add the potatoes and fry over a medium flame till they are about three-quarters cooked.
Now add the turmeric - cumin - coriander paste and ginger paste, throw in a couple of green chillies, mix well and saute for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle in a little salt and cook over a medium flame till oil starts to separate from the masala.
Add a cup of warm water and cook over a low flame till the potatoes are cooked. Bring to a simmer and gently add the fried chhana balls.
Sprinkle in the sugar, cook for another 5 odd minutes. Adjust the seasonings and finish with a generous dollop of ghee. Serve hot.
