Technique for Making Kashmiri Kofta

  • To make kofta, combine all of the components.
  • Next, roll the dough into spheres after applying a little amount of sarson oil on your fingers.
  • Form the spheres into long sausages to be used as koftas. 
  • Cast aside.
  •  While the sarson oil is heating, add the hing and chilly powder.
  • Turn the heat down to moderate and cook the bhuno dahi, turning often, until it is light brown, about fifteen minutes. 
  • Stir in the garam masala and a cup of boiling water, bring to a boil, and then gently drop the koftas, gradually, into the sauce.
  • Stir regularly and simmer for approximately 25 mins, or until the vegetables are soft. Accompany your Kashmiri koftas with a preferred rice, and serve while it’s still warm!
