Do not boil  koftas in the gravy as they are liable to break .

First take some curry into serving dish and then add koftas.

garnish with cream.

Serve hot with naan or chapati or parantha.

Here are some more important Tips which may be need to make this yummy recipe.

1) Spinach should be squeezed properly. if Spinach has water then koftas won't make good. and you have to add binding agent that will be koftas make hard. (I have experienced of this fault )

2) Don't cook koftas in curry, since koftas are very soft so they can be break while cooking.
