The auspicious day is drawing to an end. Last midnight was the celebration of the Lord's appearance. Today, for the first time, I cooked for Him. It made me feel so good :)
I made the koftas with one little twist-
Having no mint, I made a chutney of coriander (fresh), tomatoes, and green chillies and added that to yoghurt. Then dropped in the Koftas.
Having no chickpea flour also, I used cornflour to bind the balls. I was very nervous but by the Lord's grace it was a success! The family really liked it.

Thanks a ton for all your recipes :)
