Notes
- Fry the koftas at the time of serving. If you want you can add the koftas to the gravy and keep but just few mins before else it will become very soft.
- We like our kofta a bit crispy so we add at the time of serving.
- The koftas needs just very little water so sprinkle mix and then proceed accordingly.
