Hello, I was always worried about the koftas breaking so I’ve never ever attempted it before but when I saw your video and all your detailed tips and tricks, I told myself I had to make an attempt and I did… the koftas were moist and juicy and didn’t break😅 I followed all of your tips and it turned out perfectly. Thank you for this. I skipped the yogurt and milk as I’m lactose intolerant but I did replace it with freshly blended cashew paste instead. Thanks Bumbi, you’ve given me the courage to now start making koftas 😆😉

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I am so very happy to hear that. Thanks for trying this recipe and sending your lovely feedback.

[@larryrubin1718]

I had a liver transplant several years ago and now my favourite cuisine is Indian. I’m sure my donor (thank you for the gift of life) was Indian. :-). I love your recipes and as a vegetarian , I try many of them using soy curls.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Glad to hear that you love my recipes. Take care

[@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978]

Indian food is some of the most nutrious and healthiest food on the planet....

[@B-Meister]

​@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978 To be honest, I don't really care if it's nutritious or healthy. Indian food is just delicious 🤤

[@hamidkamara8150]

Hello Bumbi, I have now been an avid fan of your recipes for 2 years. I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video, as it solved a major problem I had been grappling with over those 2 years. Essentially I couldn`t find a blender/processor that properly blended (as opposed to chopping) garlic and ginger. In the end I resorted to using a mortar and pestle, but even then I never got that smooth liquid amalgamation of ginger and garlic - as depicted in your videos. Thankfully, as the NutriBullet blender was clearly visible in this video, I now know what grinder to purchase! Thank you so much Bumbi. With very best wishes, Hamid

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for all your support. If you are interested in buying it you can also click the link to the product given in the description box (If residing in USA). It is now on discount.

[@colleenarezio32]

Oh this looks delicious. I must ask, when you say lamb is it lamb as we know it or goat because in restaurants and alot of Indians call goat lamb.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

This one is not goat meat.

[@1deaver]

I made the kofta today and toasted and ground the spices before adding to meat. I also made the garum masala from your recommendation. Its in the fridge till tommorrow and i will then make for my fathers day meal, hope my family enjoys though Bumbi u never disappoint. Thanks for sharing i will reply to my own post tommorrow night.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I am so happy that you chose my recipe for Father’s Day. It is so inspiring for me. Hope it will be enjoyed by all.

[@lenagreen4031]

That looks simply scrumptious , i cant wait to cook this. I will try it with lamb as you have Bumbi. But i may end up using pork mince, which gives a more softer and tender texture. But which ever way / its a definate for me, especially with the potatoes. Im Sooo looking forward to cooking this. Thank you my dear cor posting.x

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Yes Pork will be softer. I am glad you enjoyed watching the video. Hope you are feeling better

can the koftas be frozen before they are added to the sauce?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Sure you can freeze them but add the frozen koftas directly in the gravy and heat them up gradually on a low heat

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Sounds great!

[@jnc07res]

Bumbi that's such a different method, of meat in a curry. I'm going to try this one, and of course with my own learned habits.... I used to date this one gal many years ago (an American woman) that would always put chunks/globs of torn bread (and the crumbs) into the loaf as well. For some reason, these globs of whole bread soak up so much flavor and become the most tender, in a toothsome way, parts of the loaf meat. Whether one makes balls or a loaf itself, it's still the same. Tender and tasty!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Yes the bread make the meatballs soft. Thanks for leaving a comment.

[@therockvillian3423]

[@MeliMelo-gi5dx]

Oh oh oh merci de me permettre d'apprécier avec envie cette préparation. Une question toutefois, pensez-vous que l'on puisse remplacer la viande par le tofu, et dans ce cas, serait-il utile d'ajouter ou extraire un élément pour un résultat similaire?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can use tofu but then use dry breadcrumbs as tofu has a lot of water content. You can also add a yolk of an egg to the mix for extra binding and richness.

[@Null_76]

Would this be considered a Kofta Korma? Personally, I sometimes like larger particles of spices. Lightly crushed coriander seeds in a dish gives you a random burst of floral/citrus flavor. It can be intense and some may not like the texture, but I like the complexity it adds. There is something to be said for dishes where each bite is different.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Yes this is a kofta korma. Even I like that slight bite from those whole spices but not everyone likes it.

[@joannedickens2238]

Bumbi, is this a pimped up version of your earlier kofta curry? Is this the NEW IMPROVED VERSION? Xx

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

It is more of a korma style gravy and tastes different than that.

[@joannedickens2238]

@@CurriesWithBumbi aaahhhh, ok. Then I shall make this. Thank you. 🙏 xxxx

[@jfergs.3302]

Great looking dish. But when you losen the mix/gravy with water, wouldn't a stock of some sort add even more flavour? I'd have thought water may dilute it.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can definitely add a stock for that added depth in flavor
