Veg Nargisi Kofta is a superb paneer and chana dal (Bengal gram)recipe from the Mughlai cuisine.It is a delicious makeover of non veg egg chop coated with minced meat.These are purely vegetarian mouthwatering and deep fried koftas and served as a great appetiser at any party.If they are dipped in gravy they make for a lip smacking dinner item.
