Make a note of the tomato gravy used in this recipe, as it is a versatile base that combines well with a wide range of veggies and koftas. However, serving the gravy with these special doodhi koftas gives it a healthy twist because they are steamed and not deep-fried. The Baked Doodhi Kofta Curry is loaded with iron and folic acid, and is a wonderful food for mothers-to-be and young kids too.

I made this recipe recently. I tried to bake one in the microwave, just to try it out. It turned out like a rock. Also, it started burning in the microwave. I did another, for less time and same thing. Finally I decided to fry the koftas instead of baking and the recipe worked great. Everyone enjoyed. I suggest, just fry the koftas following the recipe and the result comes great.
