1. Place the meat in a large bowl and mix in the coriander, cumin, ground ginger, 1 teaspoon garam masala, cayenne pepper, cilantro, minced fresh ginger, oil, and 1/2 cup yogurt. Cover and marinate about 1 hour.
2. With lightly moistened clean fingers, divide the meat mixture into 16 portions and lightly press each portion in the palm of your hand to make ragged rolls, each about 1 inch thick and 2 1/2 inches long. Refrigerate until ready to use, at least 30 minutes.
3. In a blender, blend together 2 cups water, the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt, sliced fresh ginger, garlic, green chili peppers, cloves, cinnamon, asafoetida, and salt to make a spicy buttermilk.
4. Heat the ghee in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onion, stirring, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add the cumin and poppy seeds they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the coconut and fennel seeds and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
5. Add the spicy buttermilk and bring to a quick boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and add the kofta rolls in a single layer, making sure that they do not touch or overlap. Boil again, shaking the pan, until the buttermilk is absorbed, the kofta rolls are well-browned, and the sauce is very thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the garam masala on top, and serve.
