This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the koftas and they don't even realize they're eating lotus root.

I highly recommend serving this dish with basmati rice. The rice soaks up the delicious gravy and makes a perfect accompaniment to the koftas.

The gravy is so flavorful and creamy. I love how it coats the koftas and adds a richness to the dish.

I love the unique flavor of the lotus root in this dish. It's a great way to add a healthy and delicious twist to a classic kofta recipe.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover lotus root and the koftas can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

This dish was a hit with my family! Everyone loved the koftas and the gravy. I especially liked that the koftas were not too spicy, so my kids could enjoy them too.

Nadru Kofta is a delightful dish that tantalized my taste buds. The koftas were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The gravy was rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of spices. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone look
