Indian Almond Koftas With Yogurt image

Wonderful tasty spicy kaftas to enjoy as a starter or to accompany a good curry. Kofta is very popular in Asia. These can be made with lamb or chicken. Koftas are usually fried these however are cooked in the oven. I am posting this recipe for my friend, an Indian lady who is a Zaar member.
