Description
This is a main course recipe. It will be a perfect choice for any feast. The kofta in the curry appears as though a small coconut is put inside the curry. In fact one of the guest in our place, seeing the koftas in the curry bowl commented the same thing. This kofta can also be served as a starter (i.e. without gravy)My kids are always keen on finishing the balls itself. As everyone knows kids love this type of foods. It can be served along with Naan, Parothas, Chappathi,Phulkaas or even Ghee Rice. Or only the starter with any soup will do.
