To begin making the Nargisi Kofta Curry recipe, hard boil the eggs in a saucepan with some water. Peel the outer shelf and keep it aside.
In a food processor blend mutton keema very well to make it soft and tender.
Transfer it in a bowl, add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt, ginger garlic paste, oil, garam masala powder and corn flour. Mix it very nicely using hands.
Divide the mixture into four parts. Put some oil in your palm and take one portion of keema mixture and pat it to form like a chapati.
Place a hard boiled egg in between the flatten keema mixture and cover the egg with it. Do the same to all eggs. Keep aside.
The next step is to prepare the gravy. Heat oil in a big pan or kadai.
Add dry red chilli and bay leaf. Roast the chilies for a minute then add chopped onions. Fry the onions until light brown.
Add ginger garlic paste, green chilli paste and fry a little bit. Add tomato puree, coriander, cumin, red chilli and turmeric powder. Fry until the oil separates.
