Have you tried these extra soft soya kofta yet?
If the answer is no, then I am guess you should read this post ahead.This is another one of the first tries and these soya kofta simple melt in your mouth. Infact since I made them in appe pan they were very delicate and I finished half of them even before I could add them in the gravy.
While on the dinner table, soya kofta turned out to be a great hit and everyone in the family loved additional helping. Now since it wasn't deep fried I didn't mind serving them couple of more soya kofta.My son who is generally picky about koftas too finished his dinner in no time and that itself was enough for soya kofta success.
So next time whenever you want to make you meal healthy and delicious without much of oil Soya Kofta is your answer.
