An all time favourite of my nephew, who would go to any length to make his demand for koftas being met the very same day! Traditionally cooking koftas has been considered more of a hassle by desi women, here we prove it to be a delightfully simple and delicious recipe. Go for the leanest choice minced lamb and you will end up with real suave and succulent koftas. Try not to make the meat balls (koftas) too hard while forming them.
