Chicken Koftas in a Korma Sauce

A Kofta is essentially a Middle Eastern or Asian version of the meatball - but of course distinctive by the addition of a wonderful blend of spices. I love this recipe as it tempers the spices of the kofka with a lovely, mild coconut sauce. Great if you have a jar of Patak's Korma sauce in the cupboard and fancy something a bit different than well, your usual Korma.
