The kofta is one dish that has a rich culinary history, rooted in our country. Thanks to the Mughal Empire, we were introduced to this elegant and delicious dish and ever since then, we have incorporated it into our cuisine with our own style. Deep-fried koftas are cooked in tomato-onion gravy with plenty of spices to give us the kofta curry we know and love. Traditionally, koftas were made using meat but we have managed to tweak this delicious recipe so that vegetarians can enjoy it as well!
