Combining mutton and eggs, this dish is packed with high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.

The combination of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates makes this a very energy-dense meal, providing a substantial source of fuel for the body.

While delicious, Nargisi Kofta Curry is a calorie-dense and high-fat dish best reserved for special occasions. It is an excellent source of protein and iron from the mutton and eggs. To make it healthier, you can bake the koftas instead of frying and reduce the amount of ghee and cream.
Koftas can break for a few reasons: 1) The mince mixture was too wet. Ensure your keema is drained well. 2) Not enough binding agent. The raw egg and roasted besan are crucial. 3) The kofta wasn't sealed properly around the egg. Make sure there are no cracks. 4) The oil temperature was incorrect or you overcrowded the pan.
Yes, you can fry the koftas a day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Prepare the gravy and gently reheat the koftas in it just before serving.
This rich curry pairs beautifully with naan, sheermal, tandoori roti, or a simple jeera rice or saffron pulao to soak up the delicious gravy.
