Nargisi Kofta (Lamb and Egg Curry)
Ave. Rating is 3 (1 ratings) Add Your Comments and Ratings

Posted by:  

This dish looks complicated but is easy to make. It goes well with rice and bread (such as naan). It is typically made with lamb but you can try substitutions like chicken. Some recipes skip pre-cooking the meat and dip the koftas in beaten egg before frying. That preparation takes less time overall. Finally, if you can't find chickpea flour, try substituting rice flour.
