Cabbage Kofta

Kofta is  one of the favorite preparation in my home. Koftas can be made of any vegetables like bottle gourd(lauki), raw banana , potato, cabbage etc or even meat . Its one of the best way to use up the vegetable that your family hates otherwise. Fried up koftas makes a good appetizer on its own and can be dropped in any gravy of choice and it makes a yummy accompaniment for roti.


For Kofta :

Cabbage - 2 cups , grated
Bread - 1 slice (optional)
Besan - 2 tbsp or more as needed
Soda - a pinch
Ajwain - 1/4 tsp
Ginger - 1/2 tsp ,grated
Salt to taste
Oil for frying

For Gravy :

Onion  - 1/2 cup , grated
Tomato - 1 cup , pureed

Turmeric Pw - 1/4 tsp
Chili Pw - 11/2 tsp

3. Squeeze out as much water as possible from bread and add to cabbage.
4. Add ajwain , salt , ginger , soda and besan to cabbage and mix well.
5. Heat oil  and add a pinch of mixture and it should rise to the top slowly.
6. Make small balls of the mixture and drop into the oil .
