I'm not sure what went wrong with my curry, but it was not good. The koftas were dry and crumbly, and the curry sauce was too thick and pasty.

This curry was a disaster! The koftas were mushy and the curry sauce was watery and bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this curry to be a bit bland. The koftas were crispy, but they lacked flavor. The curry sauce was also very thin and watery.
