Matar ka Nimona
"Indian Nargisi Kofta with Potato Coat is a delightful vegetarian or fusion twist on the classic Mughlai dish. Instead of using minced meat, this version features a spiced mashed potato mixture wrapped around a hard-boiled egg, then deep-fried or baked to a golden, crisp finish. The result is a visually stunning kofta, resembling a scotch egg but with Indian flavors.
The koftas are often served whole or halved to showcase the layered structure—soft potato exterior, flavorful spiced coating, and a bright yellow yolk at the center. These can be served dry as a snack or appetizer, or simmered in a rich, mildly spiced tomato-onion gravy made with garam masala, cumin, ginger, garlic, and cream or yogurt for added richness.
Perfect with naan, rice, or even as a standalone dish, Potato-Coated Nargisi Kofta offers a satisfying blend of textures and flavors—crispy, creamy, and comforting, with a bold Indian flair."
