Notes

Notes: You can also use corn flour instead of gram flour for binding the koftas.
Add the koftas in the curry only at the time of serving. So keep the curry ready and at the time of serving place the koftas and simmer for 2 -3 minutes and then serve.
I have not added green chilly as I am going to make for kids but if you want can add green chilly according to your taste
