Delicious Kofta Recipe
Sometimes we have to leave aside the easy, simple dishes and go for the gourmet type dish. Koftas fall into this category. This is one of the intricate recipes on this website for which I have given elaborate directions and instructions, including numerous pictures and a long slide show.
Yes, it will take a little bit of work to make this dish, I agree. However, just as it seems too cumbersome when you describe “walking” but easy when you actually do it, this recipe looks harder than it really is. The more often you make it, the easier it gets. You can either make a small quantity often, or prepare a big batch and refrigerate it for future use. And as I always say, when you enjoy a good dish, you will find that it is worth the effort.
