By

 


Dear Friends,

  Today I am here to share with you a famous kofta recipe. Before that, I would like to inform you I love to read the history of everything because I believe there must be some story behind the creation of everything. 'Nargisi Kofta' is a north Indian delicacy. This dish came from Persia to India by Mughal emperors. Many believed that the name of the dish was given after the name of a flower called 'narcissus.' Alan Davidson,

One of the most renowned food historians of the 20th century had said that the British soldiers ate the Indian Nargisi Kofta curry and cherished it so much that they attempted to recreate it at home and reiterated it with a new name, look, and influence - The Scotch Eggs. I hope you like the information behind the delicacy. So, let's start making famous 'Nargisi Kofta.'
