This recipe is amazing! The koftas were so soft and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and rich. I loved that it was baked instead of fried. I will definitely be making this recipe again soon.

This recipe was a disaster! The koftas were dry and crumbly, and the sauce was too thin. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will not be making this recipe again.
