Direction To Make

Let's start the recipe of Nargisi Kofta.

Boil eggs and keep aside.
Make flour by grinding roasted chickoeas.
If you don't have minced chicken, you can cut the boneless chicken into small pieces and grind it.
Make a puree by grinding 2 tomato and keep it aside to use in the gravy.
make the paste of cashewnut and green chilli and keep it aside to use in the gravy.
Cut onions (2+1) into thin slices and deep fry them till they become golden brown and crispy to make birista and keep aside.

Making of Kofta

Peel the boiled eggs.
Put in the minced chicken blending jar, add Desi Ghee, Coriander Leaves, Ginger Garlic Paste, Onion Birista (1 Onion), Green Chillies, Roasted Cumin Powder, Turmeric Powder, Black Pepper Powder, Chilli Flakes, Garam Masala, Coriander Powder, salt, chaat masala and roasted chickpea flour and grind them well.
The soft mixture for wrapping the eggs is ready. Wet your hand a little.
Take a large portion of the mixture in your hand and flatten it as much as possible on your hand.
Place a boiled egg over it and wrap the egg well with the mixture, if necessary take a little more mixture and make a raw kofta.
Keep the koftas aside in a plate. Make the remaining koftas in the same way.
If you have some minced mixture left and there is no egg left, then you can make koftas without eggs by giving them the shape of a ball.
Heat ghee or oil in a pan on medium heat, when the ghee becomes hot enough, then carefully add the raw koftas one by one.
Fry all the koftas until they turn golden brown from all sides.

Gravy

Put 1/2 cup ghee in a vessel and heat it. You can use the same ghee or oil that you use for frying the koftas.
When the ghee is hot, add ginger garlic paste and fry for 1 minute while stirring continuously.
Add all the dry spices for the gravy like Kashmiri red chili powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, roasted cumin powder, garam masala, green cardamom, cloves and chaat masala and some water. Fry for 3-4 minutes while stirring continuously.
Add fresh curd and tomatoes and fry them till the water dries up and oil starts coming to the surface.
Add cashew paste, chilli paste and onion barista (you can make onion barista paste) and fry well on medium high flame.
Now add about 1 1/2 cups of water and mix well. Add fried koftas to it and let it boil on medium high flame. Once it starts boiling, reduce the flame, cover the vessel and let it cook on low flame for about 20 minutes. While stirring occasionally.
Nargis koftas are ready. Take the delicious Nargisi kofta out in a serving bowl and garnish with coriander leaves.
