Method:

• To make kofta mix all the ingredients, knead with hands properly. Make equal sized smooth balls.
• For frying: Heat oil in an pan. When it is hot first drop only one ball. If this ball is fried properly without getting split then fry remaining balls till golden brown.

Tips to make kofta:

• When forming the meatballs, use a small ice cream scoop or melon baller so they are all the same size.
• Wet your hands with cool water when shaping the meatballs to help prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
• When browning meatballs, don't try to move them until they release easily from the pan. One side may be more browned than the others, but the meatballs will stay together.
