Very good. Fried the dumplings. They do expand when you fry them and I would probably make them smaller and more of them next time. Also didn't have fenugreek leaves. Subbed in fennel and ground mustard. Served with naan.

It was tasty, but I’m not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze with this one

Added a big bunch of spinach to the sauce hence the colour, and subbed coconut milk for the water. The sauce is really lovely, the kofta were a bit bland though, need to up the spices and salt next time. Will definitely have again!

Try frying the balls next time, omitted sugar try adding and perhaps chilli . Could look for other sauce recipes Could add spinach and mushrooms

Would recommend subbing coconut milk for water. Spicy for us as written with the cayenne so we would cut back on that next time for sure.
