My lil one turned 3 months old couple days back. And i have returned to my home. Till that i was staying in my mom's place. I didn't had much work to do while i was there. But now every work has returned to my head. And i am a bit on a tight schedule because i have to look after my lil one alone. So if you sent me any mail, you wont get response like before. But i promise i will reply you within 24 hours. I definitely need some time to get to normal schedule.
I love kofta curries..I have few kofta recipes in my blog. There is
something about the fried balls when soaked in a silky tomato sauce
turns out so soft and melt in mouth. I love it to the core..I have
decided to try out more recipes soon..The cool thing is you could enjoy
the fried kofta as it is too.. Check out my malai kofta curry, shahi chicken kofta curry..So give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you..

What to do if I don't get cream here... What is to replace cream?
Aarthi
@Sharanya SkarpYou can use milk mixed with some cornflour
Nims
I made this today...it was really good..I wanted to ask you, my koftas broke during frying...what may be the reason..can I omit the baking soda next time?
Aarthi
@NimsThe mix may be too wet...Just add little more cornflour
Sharanya Skarp
One more doubt cauliflower will have insects know, so I soak it in hot water for 10 mins b4 using. Now you have told to shread raw flower as it is. Then what to do for insects?
Aarthi
@Sharanya SkarpMy cauliflower was clean and white, so i grated it. You can soak them in warm water for 5 mins then grate it.
