Cabbage Potato Kofta




I was going out of town for a week and had to empty my refrigerator. All I had was a small sized cabbage, 4 potatoes, few onions and tomatoes. I was really fed up with the routine dishes we cook so tried this kofta and it did come out well.



Ingredients



For kofta



Cabbage – (as required)

Potatoes – (as required)

Green chilli – 4-5

Chilli powder (optional)

Bread crumbs – 4 table spoons



For Gravy



Onion – 2

Tomatoes – 4-5

Ginger garlic paste (fresh ginger & garlic can also be used)



Cumin seeds, fennel seeds and assorted spices for tempering

Garam masala – 1 spoon

Salt to taste

Oil for frying



Method



Kofta



Chop the cabbage, potatoes, green chillies, little ginger and few cloves of garlic finely (I used a chopper).

Add salt and make small balls. Keep that aside in a tissue paper. (Do not add water to the mixture as there is a tendency for cabbage & potatoes to leave water). Add little rice flour, fresh bread or crumbs if the mixture is very moist.

Fry till golden brown and keep aside.

 

Gravy



Grind onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, green chilli.

In a pan, add oil, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and other spices. Sauté till cooked.

Add the gravy and allow it to cook properly till the raw smell leaves.

Add salt, chilli powder and garam masala as per taste.

Simmer the stove, add the koftas and bring to boil.

Wait till the koftas are soaked in the gravy.



Garnish with cream or coriander leaves.



Tasty Cabbage Potato koftas are ready to serve with rotis, naans, chapathis or rice.
