How to Make Kofta Kadhi
1.
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the kofta thoroughly. Heat oil in a kadhai on medium flame. Take heaped teaspoons of the kofta mixture and deep fry them until golden brown. Set aside.
2.
In an (unheated) kadhai, mix the besan and curds. Churn and then add haldi, chilli powder, sugar and salt. Continue churning.
3.
Add water and mix well to ensure no lumps are formed. Bring this mixture to a boil, while stirring continuously.
4.
Once the bubbles form, cook on low flame for a minute and then pop in the koftas. Stir slowly for another minute.
5.
Prepare a tadka by heating oil and adding the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, Kashmiri chillies, garlic cloves and curry leaves.
6.
Once the garlic begins to brown, pour this tadka over the kofta kadhi and cover. Turn off the gas and garnish with coriander leaves after 5 minutes. Serve hot with jeera rice or rotis.
