    I thought this was a very nice and comforting meal. I accidentally purchased paneer that was pre-cut into cubes. So I small diced them instead of shredding them, resulting in larger chunks within the kofte which I really enjoyed. I agree with others that you don’t need to put the potato through a grater, just mash them.

    The tomato sauce was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be making that again. The kofta didn't really work for me-- patties didn't hold together and I thought the ratio of kofta to sauce was way off (not nearly enough sauce).

    Nice sauce, definitely needs the dried fenugreek.

    wasn't bad tasting but was only ok for me. felt a bit silly grating potatoes as you can definitely just mash them to get the desired consistency

    The payoff to effort ratio wasn't there for me. Too much effort and fuss, but the results weren't fabulous.

    The recipe didn’t say how long the potatoes should be boiled for. However I am not sure you can ever grate cooked potatoes? Any how, mine was mashed with a potato masher instead. The kofta tasted of potatoes only and nothing of paneer. They were also too soft to be stirred into the sauce. I thought the recipe is ok but Mr Lilham liked it.
