Start by preparing the kofta mixture with 600 grams of minced meat, ensuring it is smooth and free of water.

In a chopper, add 6-7 garlic cloves, 1 roughly chopped onion, 2 green chilies, 1 inch of ginger, and a handful of fried onions.

Add 2 slices of bread to the mixture to prevent the kofta from breaking and to increase the quantity.

Chop the mixture finely in the chopper until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and mix well. If the mixture is dry, add 1 tablespoon of ghee.

Wet your hands slightly and shape the mixture into kofta balls of your desired size.

In a handi, heat 150 grams of oil and add 1 large sliced onion. Fry until golden brown.

Once the onions are golden, lower the heat and add a little water to prevent burning.

Add 1 tablespoon of ginger garlic paste and sauté until fragrant.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder. Mix well.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to prevent the spices from burning.

Once the spices are cooked, add 100 grams of whisked yogurt, making sure to lower the heat to prevent curdling.

After the yogurt is well incorporated and heated, add the kofta balls carefully into the mixture.

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 minutes without stirring to avoid breaking the kofta.

After 6-7 minutes, gently check the kofta to ensure they have set and are not breaking apart.

Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat to allow the flavors to meld.

After cooking, stir gently to combine the kofta with the gravy without breaking them.

Add 1 cup of water to adjust the gravy consistency as desired and mix well.

Cover and simmer for 15 minutes on low heat, allowing the kofta to cook through.

After 15 minutes, check the kofta; they should be cooked and flavorful.

Finish by adding 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala powder and a handful of chopped fresh coriander before serving.
