About

This koftay recipe is another family favourite. Ammi mixes minced chicken and minced beef to make the meatballs. She claims that mixing chicken keeps the meatballs soft when cooked.

In our family, we love the combination of these meithi kay koftay served with nauratan chutney, masoor daal, and chapati.
