In this recipe, we are using lamb mince to make the koftas. Yorkshire-style kofta curry is a comforting and hearty dish made with potatoes and tomatoes in a richly spiced sauce. This version of the classic curry recipe is easy to make and can be enjoyed by the whole family. It is perfect for a cold winter's evening or a family gathering.
