Nargisi Kofta as an appetizer


         This Mughlai dish is a great party recipe and a connoisseurs delight. It is a very popular dish served in many restaurants and is apt for any special occasion. Nargisi Kofta calls for boiled eggs that are wrapped with lamb mince, deep fried and cooked in a tomato-yoghurt based gravy. It is then served with rice or any Indian flat bread as a main course.

It is definitely a must try recipe. So do give it a try by following a step by step pictorial recipe and enjoy this visually appealing and yummy starter.
