This veg kofta curry blends crispy vegetable dumplings with a creamy pumpkin-bottle gourd gravy. The koftas stay soft inside, while the spiced gravy balances richness with freshness. A festive yet simple dish, it’s lighter than most versions but still full of flavour, making it perfect for family gatherings and dinners.
