      * when having dinner parties at home, 1/4 eggs lengthways and do all above steps to make it more managable.

      Add mince, dhal, onion spices and water to a pan. Mix well, cover and cook until dhal is soft and water is dry. Remove from heat. Stir again and place in a bowl to cool to at least room temperature prior to processing.

      Once you have processed mix, add green corriander, garam masala powder and slowly add beaten egg until it is the correct consistancy (to be able to cover eggs.

      Cut boiled eggs in half and cover with mince mixture. Once all done, heat oil for deep frying. Do not add kofta until oil is hot - and don't add more than 3 intge pan at one time - or koftas will break. Cook till golden brown, remove and drain. Place cooked Koftas on a serving plate.
