Cabbage kofta
Just to share with you………..
We all are aware of Malai Kofta which is a very famous recipe. This kofta is made upof mixed vegetables. recently I heard from one of my friend that they make Kofta’s using bottle guard(surrakkai) ,cabbage etc. Cabbage is easily availabe vegetable in all seasons so letz try this Cabbage kofta. I don’t follow any hard and fast rules in making gravy for this kofta. Once I made gravy in southindian style(replace paruppu uruandai with cabbage uruandai in paruppu urandi kozhumbu) and anothertime I made north Indian style kofta gravy. This Kofta goes well in all types of gravies. Here I am not mentioning the gravy since you can add this balls into your very special gravies.
