Kofta curry is a very famous dish in the Indian subcontinent. It’s a meatball curry wherein firstly, the soft tender meatballs are formed while mixing spices and herbs in the minced meat and then they are simmered with the curry. Curry itself is an amalgamation of Indian spices, and these exotic spices imparts a vibrant taste to the dish.
Kofta curry also known as Kofte is very popular in Northern India as this region’s dishes are highly influenced by Mughlai cuisine. The Khansamas (chefs) of Mughals brought in their Persian culinary skills to India and imbibed them with exotic Indian spices. The extensive use of saffron and herbs and spices gave Mughlai cuisine a niche not only in Indian subcontinent but also throughout the world.
