Nargisi Kofta is a recipe found in Mughlai cuisine. Its prepared by hard boiled eggs encased in often minced meat either chicken or kheema aka lamb. But, I have adapted the dish into a meatless dish by using potatoes and spinach to encase the eggs. The eggs are often covered with the meat in this potato mix and shallow/deep fried and cut into half , served in tomato based gravy. Often enjoyed with some naan or rice, either way you cannot go wrong. It is often said that the idea of scotch eggs were inspired from nargisi kofta recipe. The name Nargis is derived from a flower which has a yellow center. I have often served this dish to my western friends and they have enjoyed it thoroughly.
