Can i use besan instead of cornflour?
Edited after original posting.

   Dear Kaynat You can go ahead and replace cornflour with besan. Just check on the amount of besan required. It may be a little less or more than 1 tbsp. If the koftas bind well, that means the quantity of besan is perfect.

Koftas are really nice. Howsoever the gravy wasn''t so convincing. try the balls as starter.

   Thank you for your review, we have tried this recipe here many times and the gravy is really nice. We hope you have made the fresh tomato pulp like this- you should blanch the tomatoes , peel and deseed and then blendin a mixer till smooth. if there is any step you need help in , we are ready to help, do let us know.

   Probably bcoz of the difference in pulp preparation method. Can you please let me know what is the difference between preparing pulp without blanching and with blanching. Thanks. Will surely try it again.
