Cabbage kofta gravy


Its been really long since I posted any receipe. Had craving for some new side dish for roti. was blogging for few non-onion based gravies that my MIL can also have..Came across this receipe from manjula's kitchen blog. Am always a big fan of her jain receipes and videos. All her measurements are perfect.. Only change we did was to try shallow frying of koftas with non-stick appakarai pan. One lesson learnt is that the gravy base and kofta can be prepared in advance. But, the addition of kofta into gravy should be done only at the time of serving. Otherwise, the koftas absorb most of the gravy base. Can probably add another 3 tomatoes if we have to add all the prepared koftas. We added only 10 koftas for the tomata base gravy we obtained . We got 20 koftas of medium size with the measurements given. Could get the cabbage shredding very fast with the help of food processor and prepare the dish in a jiffy..My MIL was recollecting her days of preparing suran (chennai kilangu) kofta using hand grater and stone hand based grinder(aattukal) during her joint family younger marriage days!!! Things have really got simplified by modern kitchen gadgets for our generation :)
