POINTS TO REMEMBER:

• Make sure to fry less kofta together\
• Do Not use a lot of oil while frying cause the the whole oil goes to waste due to cornstarch
• Let the koftas rest for few moments after coating them with cornstarch
• Keep a cloth at the time of grinding the boiled onion paste
• Add a lot of water to the gravy before adding kofta as they will absorb the gravy
