Critical Success Points

  • Grind whole spices into a fine powder (step 1).
  • Fry the koftas at the correct temperature (180 °C) to achieve a golden crust without burning (step 6).
  • Do not overcook the sauce so the koftas stay fluffy (step 12).

Safety Warnings

  • The frying oil is very hot; handle with care to avoid splatters.
  • Wear kitchen gloves when grinding the spices if the mortar becomes hot.
