Cabbage Kofta Curry - Romantic Dinner



Vah Reh Vah...What a dish it is!! I could hear WOW behind and imagine how nice it will be when you really prepare it and have! Wow. I don't think I need to describe it more as the picture shows the description itself.
Should I proudly say that my husband contributed for this dish? Do I hear some quarreling at the back from the ladies who read this? Anyhow, let me come to the point. ;)

Moreover this is a mughlalian dish. Here is the recipe.

2)In a Kadai with more oil, fry these balls and place in a tissue.
