Mutton kofta is an exotic dish but it is not difficult to make at all. Also, unlike regular kofta dishes where kofta is deep fried, here the kofta is boiled in water to make a healthier version.
Mince the meat and mix with some common spices and mustard oil, and shape them into koftas. Then, saute whole spices in oil, add water and toss the koftas and let them cook for some time. It's so easy to make restaurant-like kofta at home!
