Avoid this recipe at all costs! The koftas were dry and tasteless, and the sauce was watery and bland. I'm very disappointed.

I'm giving this recipe one star because it was a complete disaster. The koftas were inedible and the sauce was like water. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

These koftas were a waste of time and ingredients. They were dry, bland, and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the koftas fell apart when I tried to cook them. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the koftas didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They were a bit too dry and the sauce didn't seem to help much.

The koftas were a bit bland for my taste, but the sauce helped to add some flavor. I would probably add more spices to the koftas next time.

These koftas were a bit dry, but the sauce helped to make them more moist. Overall, they were still pretty good.
