The koftas were a bit difficult to shape. I think I would use a food processor next time to make the mixture more uniform.

I found the koftas to be a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.

These koftas were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more yogurt or sauce next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but the koftas still turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of chicken and added some chopped spinach to the mixture.

I followed the recipe exactly and the koftas turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still moist and juicy.
