Notes
Let your pan heat up fully before adding the kofta. This helps get a nice sear and prevents sticking.
This helps it blend evenly into the mix and adds moisture without chunks.
Squeeze the mixture together well when forming the logs. It helps them hold their shape while cooking.
Even with a nonstick or cast iron pan, spraying oil helps prevent sticking and gets a better crust.
These are softer than meat-based kofta, so use tongs and be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking them.
Let the kofta cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat.
