Chef's Notes
Treat your koftas with the respect of a fragile crown jewel; overcrowding the pan is a cardinal sin that leads to broken spheres and culinary heartbreak.
Pro Tip
Soak your cashews and chironji in warm water to slash grinding time in half and ensure an ultra-silky gravy base.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping unformed, wet chicken straight into a roaring hot pan without letting the exterior set, resulting in a shredded meat scramble rather than majestic kofta balls.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we use so many spices in these koftas, and he said it's to hide the fact that I'm actually a terrible cook.
The Culinary Science
SautΓ©ing cashew paste until the oil separates indicates that the moisture has evaporated, leaving behind concentrated fats and proteins that naturally thicken the sauce without flour.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300Β°F (150Β°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
