KOFTA RECIPE PREPARATION METHOD (INDIAN RECIPE)

Bind all the ingredients of the kofta with little water and make round koftas of 1 inch diameter and fry it.
For Gravy:
Heat oil in pan and add mustard seeds. Add ginger/chilli paste, Tomato paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and chilli powder. Saut for a minute. Add water and boil. When this gravy mixture has boiled for 2 minutes, add the koftas to it and keep boiling for few minutes with the lid covered. Open the lid and take out one kofta to check whether or not it has cooked properly till inside. Check the consistency of gravy. If it is too watery then make a thin paste of flour and cold water and put in the gravy continuously stirring, for thickening the gravy. If gravy is too thick, then add some boiling water to it and stir. Put off the flame when it is done. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steaming rice or puris.
