For Preparing kofta

   Set away for later use.
3. The kofta will be stuffed with a sweet, tangy, and crispy filling made of this.
4. Use the kofta mixture to form little balls.
5. Shaping the kofta will be easier if you apply a little layer of oil to your hands beforehand.
6. Use your hands to gently flatten a kofta ball on an apron or rolling board. The cashews and raisins filling may be added to it.
7. When all the edges are brought together, form a tidy ball.
8. Shape by rubbing your hands together with a little oil.
9. Make sure the filling is still in the middle of the kofta when you cook it.
10. This method should be used to fill and form all of the koftas.
11. For 30 minutes, cover with a lid and leave at room temperature.

Frying kofta balls:
