The recipe is gr8.. Proportion of ingredients just right and the dish seemed to be turning out yummy. But when i sat down for my meal i realized the koftas were completely uncooked from inside..esp theraw besan made it very unpalatable. Alsothe koftas had ansorbed enormous amt of gravy leavin the subzi dry with jes balls of uncooked besan
However im a big fan of ur work and dig ur recipes..keep up the good work..its just that this one turned out unexpectedly different

Hi Lajja,

Yes, you can use evap milk or whipping cream. This was meant to be a healthy recipe so we stuck to the yogurt.

Hi Gals,

Another awesome recipe from you two. By the way, I agree to one of the earlier comments that we should either steam/roast kofta (making it into kind of muthiya) before adding in gravy. Also, one question, can I instead add milk/evaporated milk/whipped cream instead of yogurt?
