Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Green Tomato Kofta Curry
- For extra flavor, soak the grated tomatoes in salt for 15 minutes before squeezing out the excess water. This helps to remove moisture and enhances the taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the koftas; fry them in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference. Start with less and add more as needed.
- For a richer curry, add a dollop of coconut milk or cream at the end.
